WR1OC Trip to the BTCC
Posted: Tue Dec 19, 2006 10:00 am
Hi Guys,
As suggested in 'The Ultimate Drive' thread I could try and organise a trip to a round (or rounds) of the British Touring Car Championship.
As some of you already know I look after a very promising young driver in the Formula BMW Championship which is part of the BTCC package. As a result of his performance last year he was invited to go to Valencia for the Dell Formula BMW World final as Oliver Turvey's team mate. As a result of that he has been offered the Team Loctite drive for the 2007 season replacing Oliver who will obviously be moving up the ladder. (In case anyone missed it Oliver Turver won the McLaren Autosport Young Driver Award this year!)
Therefore I should hopefully be able to put together a more interesting day than just buying tickets and turning up.
I can obtain passes for the BMW hospitality facility (which is the best outside the F1 paddock) this would include breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, wine, beer, tea, coffee and all soft drinks. The hospitality suite has large screen TV's for following the action and at many circuits is situated track side.
I can arrange for everyone to have a tour of the Team Loctite set up and Tom will show people round his BMW FB02 race car.
Having met him hopefully as well as enjoying the BTCC races (and the beer ) you will have the fun of cheering him on in his two races as well.
To start with I need to guage the interest there would be in this.
It would help if you guys could suggest which round or rounds you would like me to try and arrange something for.
Make any suggestions for anything to make this trip more appealing.
Give me an idea what you would be prepared to pay for a package like this (bearing in mind the BMW hospitality etc.,..) so I know what budget to aim for when talking to people to arrange this.
I will find the provisional dates for the rounds the Formula BMW Champiosnhip are attending and post below.
Regards
Robin
