PHOTO (select to view enlarged photo)

British Grand Prix, Silverstone - unique two-day package for two with Paddock Club VIP benefits and a tour of the WilliamsF1 garage by Sir Jackie Stewart - FOR CHARITY.

This is a one-off opportunity to buy a unique VIP package for TWO people for the British Grand Prix 2008, which takes place at Silverstone on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July.

Not only does it include Formula One Paddock Club Village tickets (which are apparently almost sold out elsewhere), the occasion is enhanced by the involvement of Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, whom you will join for a personally-guided tour of the WilliamsF1 garage, not long before the race starts on the Sunday.

The winning bidder in this auction will not only be sure of a race weekend to remember, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that the money they pay will go directly to the Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust, a charity created some 20 years ago by Sir Jackie to look after former and current mechanics in times of hardship.

Many of the mechanics currently supported by the charity worked in Grand Prix racing many years ago, and it is Sir Jackie's hope that the Trust will be in a financial position to continue to offer support for many years to come. This will ensure that the people Sir Jackie calls "the true professionals in the sport" are looked after, long after they have left the care and security of their current teams.

The package includes: :: One pair of tickets for the Formula One Paddock Club Village, which is situated inside the racetrack, on the area overlooking Priory, Brooklands and Luffield corners. The tickets allow two people access throughout the Saturday and Sunday of the event and include a car parking pass for one car for both days. :: Each day, your own reserved seat in an exclusive covered grandstand. :: On the Sunday, a tour of the WilliamsF1 garage, guided personally by Sir Jackie Stewart. :: Daily pit lane walkabouts at pre-allocated times. :: Each day, a gourmet lunch accompanied by fine wines and Champagne. :: Each day, morning coffee and croissants and afternoon pastries will be available at the complimentary bar in the Formula 1 Paddock Club Garden Area. :: Access to the paddocks for Porsche Mobil1 Supercup, GP2, Formula BMW and Historics Sport Cars Challenge. :: Access to the myriad entertainments and amenities in the Formula One Paddock Club Village, including a massage corner, race simulator, fine art exhibition, caricaturist and much more. :: Complimentary copy of the Official Programme. :: Ear plugs.

The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust would like to thank Allsport Management for their generous support, without which this fundraising opportunity would not be available.

Please note: :: To clarify, the listing summary at the top of the eBay page shows as one ticket. This is because we are selling ONE package. The package definitely contains tickets for TWO people for TWO days! :: The tickets are non-transferable. :: The package does not include accommodation or transfers to and from the circuit. :: Payment must be made by PayPal. Once funds are received, the passes and associated details will be sent by special delivery to the nominated UK postal address.
