Premier1 Grand Prix sets out plans for 2002 Zurich, 16 January 2002: The past year has been a busy one for Premier1 Grand Prix, the innovative new motor sport series that will pitch the world’s top soccer clubs into Formula 1 style racetrack competition in 2003. Some of the 2001 highlights have included: the signing of a number of top football clubs, amongst them Benfica, Leeds, Anderlecht and Feyenoord; the FIA’s (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) approval of the sporting and technical regulations for the series; a chassis deal with Reynard Motorsport - one of the world’s leading manufacturers - and confirmation that the series will kick off in March 2003. In response to a Question and Answer session at this year’s prestigious Autosport International Show in Birmingham, Robin Webb, Operations Director for Premier1 Grand Prix, ensured the audience that 2002 would continue in the same vein. “We have taken some great strides in the development of this series in the past year and momentum will continue to build throughout 2002,” says Webb “We have some of the biggest clubs in football lined up to take part in this championship and news of their involvement will raise even the most cynical of eyebrows.” In early February, Premier 1 Grand Prix is due to host a meeting of all the top football clubs’ marketing personnel at its headquarters in Zurich. The meeting will enable the championship to determine the cooperation between the clubs and Premier1 on important matters such as sponsorship marketing and the licensing programme. Other areas of discussion will include communication plans with the fans and the ticket marketing for Premier1 races.
