Modern Unipart - and attendance from Formula One driver Allan McNish,
Formula One racing legend Nigel Mansell and his sons Leo and Greg who will
share details of this seasons racing activities at the stand on Friday 7th
July at 11.30am.
Allan McNish, who recently reached podium position in the Le Mans 24 hour
race, will join Nigel Mansell and his sons Leo and Greg at the multi award
winning Museum of Modern Unipart. Visitors will have the opportunity to
hear Nigel Mansell's mid-term report about his sons' performance in the
2006 Formula BMW UK Championship which will be compered by Allan McNish.
The Museum of Modern Unipart features five engaging gallery environments
carefully designed to reflect key areas of Unipart's business including:
motorsport, retail, Unipart Car Care Centres, logistics and Unipart's
heritage.
The interactive exhibition is set to capture the imagination of every
motoring enthusiast attending the 3-day summer festival in July. Visitors
will have the chance to see the Formula BMW single seater cars which Leo
and Greg Mansell are competing in. Excitement is also guaranteed with the
Scalectrix track which allows Unipart's visitors to find out if they have
what it takes to defeat the motor racing stars themselves. There will be
prizes for the best drivers and if the stress gets too much then visitors
can enjoy a relaxing head massage while they are introduced to Unipart Car
Care Centres, the motorists first choice for service and repair.
Displays for Unipart Logistics and the Unipart Automotive retail division
will be supported by a series of fun competitions giving visitors the
opportunity to try out the latest 'care for your car' product range.
Finally, the Museum of Modern Unipart will capture Unipart's heritage and
expertise by unravelling the story of Unipart's involvement with some of
the best known and most respected brands in the business.
Unipart Automotive marketing director, Andrew Daly, commented: "We are
delighted to support this summers Goodwood theme 'Racing for Glory ? a
Century of Grand Prix'. This year we capture Unipart's past, present and
future by revealing our history in the British motor industry and our
future plans to deliver more than just moving parts to our customers. The

the imagination of every visitor."
