| VIP Trip to British GP for Formula Kart Stars Award Winners |
| |
Twelve lucky Formula Kart Stars drivers will be special guests at the ‘Home of British Motorsport’ in July as Bernie Ecclestone invites the 2010 ‘Driver of the Day’ winners to take front row seats for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 9th-10th.
The prize not only includes grandstand tickets for the weekend but also includes VIP Paddock passes that allow the young drivers a rare chance to get up close and personal with the Formula 1 teams and drivers during the biggest event in the British Motorsport calendar.
Not only will the drivers be able to watch the all the on-track action they will be able to explore first hand Silverstone’s brand new pit and paddock complex, known as ‘The Wing,’ which is to be used by the Formula 1 teams for the first time in 2011.
This is the second year the Formula One Management backed series has offered the ‘Drivers of the Day’ a once in a lifetime experience thanks to prize sponsor Bernie Ecclestone and the lucky few who experienced the prize in 2010 all agreed that the chance to watch and speak to the Formula 1 teams and those in the support races during a Formula 1 weekend was one they will never forget.
“Silverstone is where it all began with the very first Formula One World Championship Grand Prix in 1950,” says Formula Kart Stars series director Carolynn Hoy. “It always carries a special buzz about it and our drivers will get a real taste of that. As the drivers who went to Monza with us last year will tell you, this won’t be any normal weekend at the races.
“I have to thank Bernie Ecclestone and Formula One Management for their continued support of our series and the Driver of the Day prize,” continued Hoy. “I know that he has had to work very hard to find a suitable date that will allow all our drivers to attend without causing disruption to their racing and school schedules and I know that he will give our drivers a really special weekend.
The 2010 Bernie Ecclestone Driver of the Day winners were Callum Pointon, Philip Rawson, Darius Karbaley, Matthew Graham, Josh Smith, Adam Glear, Charlie Barlow, Bobby Thompson, Chad Ryan, Lemuel Pay, Luke Whitworth and Ross Gunn. |
