Chance to drive in Patch Tyre Equipment Fiesta Championship

Mondello Park’s “Become a Racing Driver” competition in association with Patch Tyre Equipment takes place on Sunday, March 2.

With the rise in popularity of the Patch tyre Equipment Fiesta Championship, Mondello Park is introducing a new style ‘Become A Racing Driver’ competition for 2014. The winner of this challenge, which is only open to drivers who are over eighteen and have never held a car racing or speed competition licence, will receive a fantastic prize package worth over €10,000, to include a free season’s racing in the 2014 Patch Tyre Equipment Fiesta Championship.

Unlike previous contests run by Mondello Park where qualification has been spread over a year, this new initiative will run on a single day on March 2nd. On this day drivers will compete in groups of nine for a place in the final. Each driver will receive ten laps in one of the circuit’s identical saloon racing Mazda 3’s, with an instructor alongside to guide them, following which the fastest driver from each group will progress to the competition final later that day. In the final, each driver will receive 8 laps and the driver who sets the fastest time will win the competition and go on to race in the 2014 Patch Fiesta Championship, with the opening round on March 16th.
