Drivers from the Formula Renault UK Championship, ELF/BTE Lawline Renault Clio Cup and BTE Lawline/Renault Super One Karting Championships have the opportunity to attend a special Formula One test session at Silverstone on Thursday, 3rd June, as exclusive guests of Renault UK and the Renault F1 Team.
The amazing chance will fall to the drivers leading the Formula Renault UK and Clio Cup standings after rounds five and six of the championship at Silverstone (8th/9th May) and also to the respective points leaders in the BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Kart Championship, BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Junior Kart Championship and the BTE Lawline/Renault ABkC ICA Championship after round three of the year at Lydd (8th/9th May).
Those lucky enough to be invited to the Formula One test will enjoy a tour of the Renault F1 Team garage and will watch drivers Fernando Alonso, Jarno Trulli and Franck Montagny in action on circuit before taking lunch as a guest of Renault UK and the Renault F1 Team.
Tim Jackson, Renault UK Motorsport Manager, commented: “This is a wonderful opportunity for the invited drivers to get an extremely rare glimpse behind the scenes of a working Formula One team. We’re delighted to be able to offer this chance once again and I’m sure this announcement will prove to be a major bonus for the drivers in the Renault-backed Super One Karting Championships.”
Series organiser of the BTE Lawline/Renault Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA Championships, Neil Hann, added: “Whoever leads each of the three Renault-backed classes after Lydd will get what could prove to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and, as with last year, this announcement is sure to get the paddock buzzing.
“Renault UK’s sponsorship of Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA this season has been fantastic news for Super One Karting and this Formula One test visit only goes to underline the importance of the partnership we have established.”
