Pirelli has launched a competition in collaboration with the Lotus F1 team offering two lucky people a once in a lifetime opportunity to drive a Formula One car as part of the Lotus F1 Team iRace experience at the Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France.

The competition is being run through the Pirelli Motorsport and Pirelli UK Facebook pages and automatically enters individuals who spend £50 or more in the Pirelli eBay shop into a prize draw. A number of items are for sale on the Pirelli eBay shop including Pirelli podium caps, P Zero coloured wristbands, keyrings and iPhone covers. To view the full collection, please visit: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/P-Shop

Running for four days only, the competition started yesterday [Thursday 19 October] and will close on Sunday 22 September. The promotion is open to all residents in the UK and Ireland who hold a driving licence.

Pirelli UK Marketing Director, Wayne Nickless commented: “Very few people in the world have ever had a chance to drive an F1 car so this really is the crème de la crème of competition prizes. It’s even more special because the experience will take place at the legendary Paul Ricard circuit. Our promotion is only running for four days so if you’re wanting to buy any Pirelli merchandise then this is the time to do it.”
