Karl Jackson, site lead and assistant principal for the £10 million Institute of Technology at Bersham Road, said: "I can't believe this is the fifth Bersham Wheels.
"Time flies but it has been amazing to see the event go from strength to strength, with people of all ages visiting and enjoying the cars and bikes, the music and everything else we have going on.
"While the focus is on the engineering and motoring aspect there is something for everyone and this summer is no different with some of the area's best bands and singers appearing, a selection of food and drink, and local businesses selling everything from craft items and jewellery to local produce and more.
"Have your fingers crossed for sunshine.
"We look forward to seeing you all June 21."

Furious NC500 cops slam ‘dangerous' drivers after THREE Porsches clocked speeding up to 142mph
Cops carried out proactive patrols over the weekend SHOCK SPEEDS Furious NC500 cops slam 'dangerous' drivers after THREE Porsches clocked speeding up to 142mph THREE Porsche drivers and three bikers were clocked at speeds up to 142 mph on the North Coast 500 at the weekend. Another biker was recorded by police at 139 mph while all the Porsche drivers were caught doing 99mph. Advertisement 1 Furious NC500 cops have slammed dangerous drivers as motors were clocked at speeds of up to 142mph Credit: Alamy Highlands and Islands Road Policing Officers carried out proactive patrols over the weekend to detect and deter 'irresponsible and dangerous behaviour'. A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: 'While the majority of people were using and sharing the roads responsibly, a small number unfortunately chose to disregard the safety of themselves and others — and now face the consequences. 'This includes three Porsche drivers who were caught speeding at 99mph on the A890 near Ledgowan. 'On the B817 near Ballachraggan, one car was detected travelling at 90mph, followed shortly after by three motorcycles recorded at speeds of 117mph, 139mph, and 142mph.' Advertisement Constable Smith said: "Driving or riding at these speeds drastically reduces reaction time. Excessive speed is one of the five most prevalent causation factors in serious and fatal collisions. "All of these drivers now face serious penalties. We remain committed to improving road safety across the Highlands and Islands." The NC500 has been subject to constant complaints over various motoring problems. One motorhome hire company previously advised its customers to avoid the NC500 after attacks on its vehicles. Advertisement Two of its motorhomes had eggs and cartons of yoghurt thrown over them, and two also had tyres slashed. Residents have frequently complained about congestion and mess left behind by cars, campervans and motorhomes across the north. Brand new coastal caravan park on picturesque NC500, near stunning, award-winning beach Tensions on the road trip escalated over the years. In 2018, police investigated a spate of incidents on the NC500 with attempts to puncture vehicles' tyres. Advertisement Roofing tacks were found scattered on a road near Bettyhill. Police have regularly carried out operations on the NC500 each year, catching scores of offenders, including for speeding. The NC500 has been hailed by various top travel publications, National Geographic and American broadcaster CNN as one of the world's greatest drives and highlighted on TV shows such as Top Gear. It is estimated to be worth more than £22m a year to the local economy. Advertisement However, the 516-mile circular route, in and out of Inverness, has been described as both a highway to hell and a road paved with gold. While it has boosted tourism, residents complain of speeding motorists but also about slow-moving convoys of motor homes and long tailbacks of bikers.

Four used sports cars selling for under £5k that are set to soar in value including iconic Audi & ‘supercharged' Jaguar
FOUR used sports cars are available for affordable prices right now, but experts predict they are about to soar in value. While the cost of many classic cars have gone up in the past few years, some models remain at a lower price tag. 5 One model that the market may have overlooked is the original Audi TT. It doesn't pack a lot of power, but it "could sell on looks alone". Some even feature the rare baseball glove leather upholstery. Autocar notes that "well-preserved" Audi TTs start at around £2,000. The "supercharged" XKR is "what everyone wants", according to Autocar. Experts note that the price is on the lower end, unlike the XK8 which is starting to gain value again. Prices begin from around £3,500. A Mazda RX-8, from 2003 to 2012, is another one where prices are heading north. This is because Mazda admitted it could be years until the RX-9 comes out. In 2012, they said they hadn't even started developing it yet. Experts predict there is a good chance the next one will come with advanced driving aids and "some form of electrification". This means the RX-8 is the last of a breed, and prices start from £2,300 but are slowly rising. Another cheap car is the Porsche Boxster, which are currently priced from £4,000. Inspired by the 550 Spyder, this car "almost single-handedly saved the brand from bankruptcy". It is one of the most affordable Porsches with a flat-six engine. However, experts predict it won't stay this cheap for long. It comes after a car expert picked out five modern classic motors that are set to soar in value - and urged petrolheads to buy now while they're still reasonably priced.
