Fancy a shot of an LMP2?

Post by Fluoxetine » Thu Feb 15, 2007 9:09 am

Not sure how many people follow Crash.net, but there's a competition been announced in conjunction with Embassy racing to drive their LMP2 car on a test day at Le Mans this year...

As you might expect, it follows the same format as many of the 'be a racing driver' contests, whereby you cough up £120 for a days karting, and go on to take part in further rounds to whittle the numbers down...

I think what caught my eye, was the fact it's a one off payment - Not per round...

You start with karting, 200 move onto to Exiges, 100 to QPod buggies...

....15 do the full week-long intensive course at Silverstone race school to get their National B license...

...4 get to do six races to upgrade to a National A, and then go onto compete in a Radical World Cup race...

...The best tests the LMP2...

(And everyone who enters gets some tat...Embassy Motorsport jacket etc)

Only problem (other than £120 entry fee! :wink: ), is that all the karting takes place down in En-ger-lund...Nearest to us is Manchester...

Things kick off at the end of March on selected dates...

Cheers,

Ross.
