It’s that time of the year again when Silverstone opens its doors for a new motorsport season, kicking off with the UK’s only round of the FIA GT Championships. Featuring the FIA GT1 World Championship, racing for the prestigious Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy, and the opening rounds of the FIA GT3 European Championship and GT4 European Cup there will be plenty of on-track action to enjoy.
This will also be the first major international race on Silverstone’s new track layout – including new elevated banks and spectator viewing areas, changes to Brooklands and Woodcote corners, plus a completely new section of circuit from Abbey, up to the Arena Complex and round to the National Straight – so it’s an event not to be missed.

We’ve teamed up with Silverstone to give away three pairs of weekend tickets to this festival of supercar action. To be in with a chance of winning one of these pairs of tickets, simply answer the following question:
Which famous British driver holds the record for the most Tourist Trophy wins?
A. Sir Stirling Moss
B. Darren Turner

Sorry, my mistake Stephen – I’ll set up that email address for future competitions, but in the meantime send your answers to our previous address “competitions@drivers-republic.com”.
We’ll be covering this event and capturing some behind-the-scenes photographs, so for those of you who cannot make it, you’ll be able to see what all the fuss is about – there are always some unique and special supercars at the event and of course the pit garages are pure automotive porn..
Best of luck..

It’s all working properly now – you should receive a confirmation message after you send you entry to “competitions@skiddmark.com”.
Serves me right for trying to type code and eat breakfast at the same time… 😉
