GP MASTERS SERIES:
Nigel Mansell:
"To add more chapters to the history we made at our sell-out
event in South Africa is sensational news and I for one cannot wait
to get back into action! For me personally, the special one will of
course be Silverstone. Racing a thoroughbred grand prix car in- front
of a home crowd at Silverstone will be a surreal and mighty experience.
My last grand prix race there was back in 1992 and was one of many victories
that season that culminated in both the Drivers' and Constructors' World
Championship"
Scott Poulter
(CEO, Grand Prix Masters): "Following the success of our
inaugural event in South Africa last November, the public demand for
'more' has been simply fantastic! This is testament to the tireless
efforts of everyone involved in the series and it gives us all great
pleasure today in announcing a calendar which will see the series visit
some spectacular racing venues across the world."
