jamesc said: The three finalists have been fully kitted out with new 3 layer overalls, helmets etc (worth around £2K alone) and now await the Tyrrell 014 at Donnington tommorrow.

Might be a daft question asked before but how do you know all this James, are you involved with the competition or are you involved with the sponsorship/cars supplied?

[jamesc]

I am not involved in this competition; however I do know one of the finalists.

Aha! Well good luck to him.

[jamesc]

Thanks, the series is on Channel 5; the winner will be announced on 28th May. The organisers have made this a tough challenge. The winner also receives a 1 year contract with J. Button's management.

Just back from Donnington; saw Vikki and Tiff but no Jenson! Next stage is Monza and the programme is on Channel 5, 22nd April.

Special thanks to Tim Matthews for providing more excitement than a Grand Prix!

AND FINALLY: Big Brother star gears up for race
BIG Brother star Tim Culley is to compete against 1,000 other car enthusiasts for the chance to race on a Grand Prix circuit.

The 23-year-old from Upton-upon-Severn will be joined in the heats by Big Brother housemate PJ.

They will visit Worcester Rugby Club on Monday, January 20 to check out the facilities and meet Tim Matthews, the promoter of The 2003 Exchange and Mart UK F1 Drivers' Challenge.

The pair are car mad and couldn't resist the opportunity to enter for the chance to drive in a F1 Thoroughbred Grand Prix Race at Monza, Italy, in May.

The Big Brother stars will have to compete next month against 1,000 other applicants through a series of elimination rounds.

The whole event will be filmed and will be shown on Channel Five in a series of six half-hour peak time shows.

I don't get Channel 5 so please tell me who won.

[jamesc]

They are now down to the last 60! I cannot tell you who wins. Can you get someone to record for you or you could watch it on Cable or Dish.

Can you get to Monza on 24/25 May for the final? Then you can meet the winner.

James

[kevinday]

Err, probably not, but I will wait til then anyway, I am sure you will let us know then. We already know 'phantum' is out of the running by his/her silence

[jamesc]

Who is the "phamtum"? He could be that numpty "Justin" who was upset he did not succeed and wrote off his Porsche!

That is indeed the question, although I do not suppose many of us actually care who he/she is/was.

[M@H]

Correct.... I can hardly contain my indifference.

Hope you aren't inferring that all "Justin"'s are numpties?????????

[kevinday]

Joust, does that mean you are a Justin? It is not on your profile!
