Nelson Mandela calls on F1 support
Nobel Prize winner Nelson Mandela is asking Formula One heroes 'past and present' to take time out of their schedules to join Minardi in South Africa.
Paul Stoddart's back-of-the-grid team will send its fleet of eight two-seater Formula One chargers to the old Kyalami race circuit for a 'Charity Grand Prix.' It'll support 'the children of my Nelson Mandela Fund,' according to the renowned former South African president, 'and the Unite Against Hunger charity.' Mandela vowed to send 'personal invitations' to all F1 teams and drivers ahead of the August event and Stoddart will ask 'all of my [F1] colleagues' to attend.

All very luadable and worthwhile but I expect the FIA Superlicence restrictions would stop current F1 pilotes from competing.

Not very bad indeed; at least, if just retired drivers race, we should see some more competition

Isn't it sad that when someone does something for a good cause, some people fear an ulterior motive?
I sincerely hope Stoddy gets a few famous names over there and that the event raises huge amounts for Mandela's charity. |

I don't see a problem with current drivers competing - some took part in the Donington and Rockingham Minardi events

They did, but they were hardly top line current drivers!
When is this? |

Thanks Stephen.
Fan, it would be good to get some local driving talent out there. |
