Dunlop training future motor sport champions at Britcar event

Multiple-championship winning tyre manufacturer Dunlop Motorsport has selected this year’s Silverstone round of the Britcar 24 hour to trial its brand new Future Motorsport Champions training programme to inspire and educate the future generation of motor sport employees.

The training programme will be targeting attendees to the race under the age of 18 and is made up of three parts including a tour of the Silverstone circuit with a racing driver talking through the racing lines, apex points, the hardest corners, the fastest sectors and their own personal experiences. The Dunlop Motorsport team will then demonstrate the servicing of the tyres for a typical motor sport team in the paddock, followed by a presentation and Q&A with a representative from Dunlop Motorsport and an expert driver.
The training will take place during race day at Silverstone on Sunday 23rd September with 100 places available. To book on the programme the cost will be £5 on top of an already discounted ticket price, all available online at http://www.britcar24hr.co.uk/dunlop/ with all proceeds going to charity Mission Motorsport.
As Kate Rock, PR Manager for Dunlop UK explains, this training programme has been developed to ensure the continuous evolution of motor sport expertise that exists in the UK whilst also educating young people with a passion for motor sport on the opportunities that exist.

“As the quantity of families attending Britcar has increased over the last few years, we felt that the Silverstone round of this championship would be the perfect event to trial our new Future Motorsport Champions training programme. We have developed this training programme in coordination with the team at Britcar who have kindly given us access to the coveted Silverstone circuit prior to the start of the race.

“We believe that this three part programme will prove a great way to encourage youngsters with a passion for motor sport by getting a true behind the scenes insight by experts who have made their trade in the industry. With Silverstone being in close proximity to the Motorsport Valley where hundreds of companies and thousands of employees are developing motor sport products and services exported throughout the world, we believe this venue is the perfect starting point for our Future Motorsport Champions training programme.”
