Former Formula 1 world champion Nigel Mansell will throw his weight behind the careers of his two sons Greg (17) and Leo (21) as they launch they make their car racing debuts in 2006.
Mansell, who last raced in Formula 1 back in 1995 but more recently dominated the Grand Prix Masters race at Kyalami, has accepted an ambassador's role with BMW.
Part of his job will be to promote the Formula BMW category and help the development of young driving talent, including his two sons who will compete in the UK series in 2006.
“Greg and Leo have both done some karting in recent years and they have shown that they can cut it at that level," said Mansell.
"Both of them have decided separately that they would like to take their motorsport careers to the next level. We spent time together looking for the best championship for them to compete in and Formula BMW fits that bill perfectly.”
Greg Mansell admitted that a career in racing was not his father's first wish for his son's career, but said that the Williams legend was fully supportive of the plan.
“Dad has always been very supportive of what we have done but he has never tried to force Leo or I into motorsport," he said.
"Dad was actually keen for me to pursue a career in golf, but he is delighted that I have decided to compete in Formula BMW and it is great to have his backing.”

I wasn’t sure where to put this...
Whats her name? But yeah it would be nice to be the son of a F1 driver or the brother of one because you can actually get into F1 regardless of your talent for example Ralf Schumacher.
