YOUNG GUNS ROAR INTO TOWN

Rallyings top “Names 0f Tomorrow” will descend on Carlisle next month when the Pirelli International Rally features an event for the countries rising driving talent as part of the “Stars of the Future” series, an exciting and innovative new competition aimed at launching talented young drivers and helping them develop their careers and move up the ladder of competitive motorsport.

The “Stars of the Future” series is only for drivers who have yet to gain an International Competition Licence and the choice of car is limited to a 1400cc or 1600c, two wheel drive machine, thus keeping down the costs and giving drivers the chance to compete on a level playing field. The “Young Guns” will compete over the majority of the stages used on the Pirelli International Rally, the blind crests and numerous unmarked bends in the infamous “Killer” Kielder Forest do doubt providing an extremely steep learning curve.

In addition to a £1500 cash prize, the “Stars of the Future” series winners will receive an enormous boost to their careers with the mouth watering prospect of a free entry into each round of the 2006 Kwik Fit/ Pirelli British Rally Championship, enabling them to compete against the established stars in Britain’s premier rally series.
