Silverstone Circuits Limited and Formula One Management (FOM) have announced details of an exceptional opportunity that will bring fans closer to the Formula 1™ action than ever before. The joint initiative will provide fans with unprecedented levels of access at this year’s FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX (9-11 July), including money-can’t-buy access to the Pit Wall during the F1™ race on Sunday 11 July.
Anyone who has purchased two or more tickets for the 2010 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX*, prior to 12:00hrs on 30 April 2010, will be automatically entered into a prize draw. In addition to being in with a chance of winning ticket upgrades to the exclusive Formula One Paddock and Paddock Club Hospitality, two lucky individuals will join an F1™ team on the Silverstone Pit Wall to experience first hand the electrifying race atmosphere.
The format for the prize draw will be as follows:
– 10 fans will have the chance to win a pair of passes to allow access to the Formula One Paddock on Saturday 10 July
– A further draw, among these 10, will allow five fans plus one guest each the chance to have their tickets upgraded to Paddock Club Hospitality on Sunday 11 July
– Of the five couples that would be entertained in Paddock Club Hospitality, two people will be balloted (these would not necessarily be from the same couple) to join an F1™ team on the Silverstone Pit Wall during the Formula 1™ race. The selection of the team will be done by ballot.
Richard Phillips, Managing Director of Silverstone Circuits Limited, commented: “This is an unbelievable opportunity for two lucky fans to get closer than ever to the heart of Formula 1™. Very few people, even amongst the teams, gain access to the Pit Wall during a race. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. FOM have been extremely generous in making this opportunity available to fans purchasing tickets for the British Grand Prix.”
