The Automechanika Body and Paint World Championships will take place in South Africa after making a successful debut in Great Britain.
Round two is taking place in Johannesburg from 18-21 September, with the grand final taking place in Frankfurt in 2020.
The challenge for technicians will be to design the hood of a car using a variety of techniques. Each hood design should be inspired by the country in which the Automechanika event is taking place. At the first round of the competition at Automechanika Birmingham in June, participants opted for a wide range of motifs, including Union Jack flags, poppies and Brexit.
Alongside Britain and South Africa, one of the remaining participants will be chosen later this year at Automechanika Shanghai, with two more being chosen next year at Automechanika Dubai and Automechanika Mexico City. The German finalist will be determined on the first two days of Automechanika Frankfurt, after which an international grand prize winner will be selected.
