Grand Prix Masters is offering British race fans the ultimate fantasy prize of a passenger lap ride alongside Nigel Mansell in the new 600-horsepower two-seater Grand Prix Masters race car.
Anyone purchasing tickets before 30th April for the Grand Prix Masters round at Silverstone on 12th - 13th August will automatically qualify to enter a prize draw. Two lucky winners will then be drawn and announced on the Grand Prix Masters website on 1st May.
Capable of almost 200mph, what truly sets the Grand Prix Masters two-seater apart from all others is the totally open & unrestricted view from the passenger's seat!
Scott Poulter (CEO, Grand Prix Masters): "Just like the real race car, the Grand Prix Masters two-seater promises to deliver nothing but thoroughbred performance and an adrenalin-busting experience! We are looking at building between four and six for use at race weekends, promotions, street events and the like. Work is well underway and the first cars will be ready for action this summer and in time for our biggest event of the year at Silverstone. The historic circuit last witnessed 'Mansell- mania' back in 1992 and if our inaugural event in Kyalami (South Africa) was anything to go by, Nigel's return to Silverstone on this occasion will be very special I'm sure. Even more special, however, will be the experiences of two lucky competition winners who will share a lap inside a Grand Prix car with Nigel at the controls! The Masters British Grand Prix weekender will be big in entertainment both on and off the track. We are lining up a host of activities and promotions aimed at bringing fans ever closer to the drivers, action and glamour."
To qualify for the two-seater Mansell competition, tickets must be purchased before 30th April.
