Formula 1 Season Comes To Weston-super-Mare

To coincide with the start of the Formula 1 season, Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier is launching its’ very own series of Grand Prix weekends.

During the nineteen race weekends of this year’s Formula 1 Season, everyone who tries the Pier’s Formula 1 simulators and everyone who rides on the Go Kart track will have their lap times recorded.

The person with the fastest lap time on the F1 Simulators and the person with the fastest lap time on the Go Karts, will both be declared winners of that particular weekend’s Grand Prix and will be presented with a £50 ride voucher.

The first race is the Australian Grand Prix this coming weekend and the final race is the Brazilian Grand Prix which takes place at the end of November.

As well as winning £100 worth of ride tickets each race weekend, at the end of the Formula 1 season all the winners, nineteen from the F1 Simulators and nineteen from the go karts, will be invited to a Grand Final showdown.

This will be a free event with the winner collecting an as yet to be disclosed, ‘Super Prize’ courtesy of the Grand Pier.

Grand Pier owner Kerry Michael said: “I am an avid Formula 1 fan myself and that’s why we have Formula 1 simulators and go karts on the Grand Pier. What better way of using them and our 300 metre long Go Kart track to create our very own Formula 1 season, here in Weston-super-Mare?
“I fully expect to have people turning up on each race weekend, trying to shave a valuable few tenths off their lap times”.
