Brno track for Charity

COUNTDOWN: - 23 DAYS to the 2008 FIA WTCC Race of Portugal - 12th / 13th July, in Estoril 

Charity auction cubes cut from of the old racetrack surface of the Brno circuit raised more than 200,000 CZK (about 8,000 euros) for young patients of the Oncology Ward of the University Children's Hospital in Brno.

The first charity auction took place as part of the gala opening of the resurfaced racetrack on 18th May 2008. Five cubes signed by MotoGP aces Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Loris Capirossi were sold for 115,000 CZK. Seventeen other cubes signed by MotoGP riders and Czech racing drivers were auctioned on-line for 86,850 CZK.

Last week the WTCC podium finishers - Zanardi, Tarquini, Porteiro, Menu and Huff - also signed cubes that will be auctioned later this year.

The money will be mostly spent on new medical equipments.

 

SLOVENIAN STUDENT WINS CHEVROLET PRIZE

Last Saturday in Brno the 2008 Visual Art 'Young? Creative? Chevrolet!' competition came to an end with the election of the best design of a new decoration for the Lacetti race car among various projects presented by young European students.

The project 'breaks through' by the Slovenian Adi Sumic received the best appreciations because: ".it shows great freedom and creativity: this is a unique approach, out of the box; it embodies the young spirit of the contest."

Second and third prizes went to Rafael Gonçalves and Ricardo Trindade from Portugal and to Clémence Pineton de Chambrun from France respectively.

The winner will be invited to Imola, where the livery he has designed will decorate Alain Menu's racing car, to spend the WTCC weekend with the Chevrolet team.
