Senna 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 The GPDA is giving fans a chance to meet its members – Schumi, Webbo, Trulli and DC – and have a guided tour of the paddock. Fans at the Australian GP will be entered into the competition when they buy a small pin badge featuring Mark Webber’s helmet and all proceeds generated are to go to Brainwave Australia, which apparently helps kids with cancer. There are plans to launch similar competitions at other races throughout the calendar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juany 0 Report post Posted February 29, 2004 Yes it is a commendable idea, however I still feel the drivers should be more open and approachable to the fans without having to win a competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they're realising why Nascar is so popular. A good mixture of close racing and easy access to the inner sanctum for the fans. Here's to more of the same in F1. I know i'll be buying the Webber pin. There's a paddock pass up for grabs plus there's a good cause to which the money will be going to, its a win win situation for all. shaun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like his treak thought the wilderness of the west coast of Tassie in aid of a charity, a tough job but very well supported.. THIS is what F1 needs, closer contact with the drivers in any form Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
