2006 Monte Carlo Grand Prix - Race 7/18

VIP passes for British GP auctioned

Formula One fans will get the opportunity to secure VIP access to the British Grand Prix, thanks to an online auction which goes live this weekend.

The auction, whose profits will all go to the Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust, will allow fans to bid for paddock passes for all three days of the Grand Prix, provided by Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone.

The winner will also get the opportunity to have lunch at the Williams team motorhome, as well as a private tour of the team's garage with former world champion Jackie Stewart, who will assist organisers.

"I cannot recall this sort of privileged access to the Grand Prix paddock area being made available to anyone outside the immediate world of F1," said Stewart. "It's a tribute to a whole range of people, particularly Bernie Ecclestone, that this has been possible.

"Their generosity will I am certain make this auction a tremendous success, benefiting in the process the good work undertaken by The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust which I founded in 1987 to help Grand Prix Mechanics in times of hardship."

The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust, formed by Stewart in 1987, is a charity providing help and support for former Formula One mechanics.

A similar auction raised nearly £15,000 (GBP) last year.

The auction will run on eBay from from 27th May to 4th June.

Fabulous to see the same back at Monaco.

All we need now is to get him in the Lotus 96T and to hurl it round Estoril.....in the rain.. ;)

Would be nice wouldn't it...

He's taking a 97T up the hill at Goodwood this year which will be worth seeing. Doubt it'll have the same impact as JV in his old man's T3 though.

Oooh...may have to get to Goodwood this year. :D

Although the T3 is a pretty special car. I always prefer the JPS Lotii...

May have to see if my mate has anything at Goodwood this year - snaffle a few passes. ;)
