Anyone wishing to attend Go Motorsport Live! at Silverstone on 7 July 2013 can now register for their free entry ticket at www.GoMotorsport.net
Go Motorsport Live! is a new event for National Motorsport Week (29 June – 7 July) and is designed to show the public how accessible motor sport can be. This year it concludes the week-long celebration of the sport just one week after the British Grand Prix (30 June).
Motor clubs, championships, teams and other organisations will set up static displays, which will complement a live Production Car Autotest with free passenger rides, plus a Trials demonstration.
Silverstone will also offer discounted driving experiences and tours of its world-famous facilities, and visitors will be able to watch the Formula Student finals taking place. Meanwhile marshalling clubs will be on hand to advise potential recruits and highlight the role as part of the MSA’s Year of the Volunteer.
Ben Taylor, MSA Director of Development & Communications, said: “The inaugural Go Motorsport Live! is shaping up to be the cornerstone of National Motorsport Week 2013. Fans will be able to head back to Silverstone just one week after the British Grand Prix and find out just how easily they can get involved in the sport, whether as a competitor, volunteer or motor club member.
“Visitors will be able to get a taste of grassroots motor sport from the passenger seat, meet an array clubs and championships, and get up close to all sorts of competition cars, from karts and club hatchbacks to dragsters and touring cars. Best of all, it’s free to enter; all you need to do is head to www.GoMotorsport.net and register for your free ticket.”
More than 20 motor clubs, championships, teams, manufacturers and organisations have already signed up to be a part of Go Motorsport Live!. Any others wishing to get involved should contact Jess Fack via jess.fack@msauk.org by 31 May 2013.
