British Grand Prix trip for Formula Kart Stars prize winners

28th January 2012

• VIP weekend in store for ‘Drivers of the Day.’
• Bernie Ecclestone sponsored prize gets rave reviews.

When Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and 22 other drivers line up on the grid at
Silverstone on July 8th for the start of the 2012 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
it will mark the highpoint of the Motorsport calendar in the UK this year.
For 12 Formula Kart Stars drivers the unearthly pitch and wail of a modern day
Formula One engine will be closer than ever as they sit in the grandstand to watch the
race unfold courtesy of Formula One Management and Bernie Ecclestone.


Cadet drivers Luke Barker, Jack Leese, Enaam Ahmed, Ross Martin and Jack
Brookes, Mini Max drivers Josh White, Aaron Thompson and Josh Cornwell and
Junior Rotax contenders Steven Handford, Luke Hughes, Nick Arthur and Shaun
Arnold all received the Bernie Ecclestone Driver of the Day award during the 2011
season and their prize of a weekend trip to Silverstone including VIP Formula One
paddock passes will be an experience none of them will forget in a hurry.


Drivers who attended the 2011 British Grand Prix, courtesy of winning the Driver of the
Day award during the 2010 FKS season, experienced the kind of up close and
personal access to the pinnacle of world Motorsport that very few get to see. From
mingling with the stars of the sport in the Formula One paddock to touring teams’
motor homes, hospitality areas and pit garages the lucky prize winners will experience
a side of Formula One usually unseen by the general public or much of the world
media.


“I’m extremely grateful to Mr Ecclestone and Formula One Management Ltd for
continuing to support this award,” said Formula Kart Stars Championship Director
Carolynn Hoy. “Over the past two years he has taken our drivers to Monza and
Silverstone and I know that this year’s prize winners will truly have the experience of a
lifetime.


“The drivers who travelled with us to Silverstone last year couldn’t believe the level of
access they were granted by the teams and how welcome the entire Formula One
family made them feel,” continued Hoy. “All 12 of the 2011 prize winners earned this
opportunity through hard work, dedication and raising their performance level during
the course of one of our championship rounds and I’m glad that Formula Kart Stars
can reward them like this.”
