Join Renault behind the scenes at the British GP

Get unparalleled access at Silverstone thanks to Renaultsport, with a chance to win a VIP paddock day on the Thursday before the British GP

---

Let's be honest folks, the Olympics can go hang; for any true F1 fan the UK sporting event of the year is always going to be the British GP. And this year Renaultsport is offering a pair of lucky PHers the chance to hang out in the Paddock at Silverstone on the Thursday before this year's race.

Arriving at around 11am (on 5th July), you'll get a full day's look around all the Renault-powered F1 teams as they set up for the race, meaning you'll get to see how such illustrious names as Red Bull, Lotus, Williams and Caterham do their thing with F1 garage visits and a tour of the paddock.

During the day you'll also get the chance for some free time in the paddock where you'll be able to take photos and get autographs from the drivers. Oh, and Renault haven't forgotten our bellies, either - there'll be teas and coffees in the Renault motorhome all day, as well as lunch to enjoy.

Being the set-up day you won't get to see any on-track action, but the atmosphere is more relaxed on a GP Thursday, and the access you'll get is unparalleled. We think it's a brilliant opportunity to get up close and personal with the inner sanctum of F1 and to get to know what makes it tick.

To be in with a chance to win, all you have to do is send us an e-mail with the subject line 'Renault F1' to [e-mail], remembering to include your address and a contact telephone number (only for if you win - we won't passing your details on to anybody else). Oh, and don't forget to make sure you're free on Thursday 5th July!

Entry closes at midday on Friday 8th June, whereupon we will draw a name at random from the sweaty F1 driver's helmet of your choice. Good luck!

I've just been told that they've pulled the plug on this competition so there's no point in entering! What a shame because I was bound to win

All the above is lies

[TVR1]

Its just a bunch of blokes looking at/talking about cars.



Pretty boring really.

[C2james]

I will make myself free on the 5th (should I win!)

[playalistic]

Wouldn't bother entering this. Very dull.

I heard the competition is in fact closed so there's no point entering

My birthday on the 4th. This would be a most excellent addition to the diary for the week.

[loudlashadjuster]

Yeah, can't really see the point in entering this. You'd have to be mad to want to hang about a noisy garage watching a Frenchman fiddle about with a laptop for 7 hours.

Seriously, don't bother. Plus, surely you've got grass to cut/shelves to put up/in-laws to visit?

[khevolution]

A free competition! count me in!

[TNH]

Not really sure why having a close look at some of the most technologically advanced cars in the world would interest anyone on here really.

[Cupradan]

I've entered just for the free scran

[TerzoNeil]
