GRAB yourself a bargain and make the petrol head in your family very happy this Christmas by taking advantage of Rockingham’s special early bird ticket offer for next season’s Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship race meeting.

Tickets for the eighth meeting of the UK’s premier race series are now on sale and will be available at just £25 until Friday, December 24, making them an ideal gift for all motor racing fans – both young and old.

All tickets include free access to a grandstand seat and the touring car paddock, which means there are no hidden extras. To ensure the Northamptonshire circuit remains one of the most affordable dates on the BTCC calendar.

With all children aged 15-years and under* invited to enjoy the action free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult, Rockingham continues to be one of the most family-friendly motor racing venues in the UK.

If that wasn’t enough, Rockingham is the only circuit which offers panoramic views of the whole track, guaranteeing fans will not miss any of the action. Plus there will be plenty of race day entertainment for all the family to enjoy on and off-the-track, including the traditional Pit Lane Walkabout.

Rockingham has firmly established itself as a favourite among the championship teams, drivers and of fans alike, since the tin-top racing series returned to the Northamptonshire circuit in April 2007.

After successfully staging this season’s second round of the series, Rockingham makes a later appearance on the 2011 BTCC calendar and will host round 22, 23 and 24 on Sunday, September 18.

Tickets are also available for qualifying, which takes place on Saturday, September 17, and can be bought for £11. Advance bookings can be made on-line at rockingham.co.uk or by calling the ticket hotline on 01536 500500 and selecting option 1.

*Maximum two child tickets per one paying adult
