The CRC Speedshow was on this past weekend and, as with previous years, just keeps getting bigger and better every year.

The sheer range of incredible cars on show is staggering, and the amount of interesting stuff to spend vast amounts of money on in between the cars is more than a little tempting.

OVERSTEER was there on Saturday, roaming around with a camera in one hand and a coffee in the other, so here are a few pics of our favourites from the show.
