Is the professional driver provided by racing lines or do we provide one of our own?

Many thanks. Do you have a list of professional driver names yet or are they still in the 'planning' stage?

Ron & Leon Haslam head Pro Driver Line Up
British, European and World Champions past and present from both two and four wheels will be amongst the professional driver ranks for the Pro-Am Charity Karting Challenge when the race starts at the Rye House Kart Raceway on the afternoon of January 27th 2002.
Currently heading the professional driver line up is multiple motorcycle world champion Ron Haslam and Current 500cc GP rider Leon Haslam. The Haslams will be joined by top talent from the 4 wheel world including former European formula ford champion and Macau GP lap record holder Derek Hayes, Former World Formula Ford 1600 Champion Topi Serjala, Reigning European Caterham Champion and Mclaren Young Driver of the year Nominee Simon Pullan. “This whole format is great and will be a really great spectacle” said British F3 Scholarship Class Champion and Mclaren Young Driver of the year Nominee Robbie Kerr. “I hope that this event will raise thousands for good causes and I am really looking forward to a bit of competitive karting again”. The main event of the meeting will put teams of up to 6 amateur races and a professional driver in a four hour endurance race for a winner takes all prize of a cash donation to the victor’s charity. “We still have several karts available for the event” reported Sean Driscoll of event organisers RacingLines International, “With the prize money being directly proportional to the number of entries the more teams that enter the more money that will be raise for the charities.” “We anticipate the list of Professional drivers taking part in the event will be further swelled by a number of surprise guests” He continued. While refusing to be drawn on who the surprise guests are, Driscoll said “We are in complex negotiations with several household names”. All teams will receive trackside banner space and the opportunity to put a sponsors livery on the Kart making this a great event for corporate entertainment to reward staff or impress clients. The primary beneficiary of the event will be the 1st Stanstead Abbotts Scout Group’s Headquarters refurbishment & Minibus fund with 40% of the proceeds going to the victors charity.

Charity Karting Entry Fee Slashed by over £100.
In an attempt to sell the remaining karts for the inaugural running of Britain’s fastest Pro-Am Charity Karting endurance event the 1st Stanstead Abbotts Scout Group have slashed the entry fees by over £100.
Originally advertised at £600, the new price of £499 represents a saving of approaching 20%. “We have decided to reduce the price to help us sell the remaining karts” Admitted Group Scout Leader Vicki Burt. “The support from all directions has been outstanding and we really want this inaugural event to have as full a grid as possible so we have slashed over £100 off the entry price.” The event will take place at the Rye House Kart Raceway on January 27th 2002 and will feature such stars as Ron Haslam, Robbie Kerr, James Hanson, Derek Hayes, Phil Bennett, and Simon Pullan. The stars will team up with members of the public in a winner takes all race for a cash donation to the victors nominated charity. Robbie Kerr was impressed with the Deavinson Formula GT1 Karts that will be used for the event, when he tested one just before Christmas. “For a 4 stroke kart these are great. They are nice and safe and in the less the perfect track conditions today I had great fun.” “This event will really kick start my year “ Kerr continued, “I haven’t raced since the end of September and am itching to get back the track again.” To enter a team please call the Karting Hotline on 01920-877005 or visit the event website at http://karting.racinglines.com and signup online. |
