Nigel Mansell returns to Silverstone
1992 Formula One champion Nigel Mansell will face an emotional come
back at Silverstone in the first full season of the New Grand Prix
Masters series.
The season begins in Qatar on 29 April and the British round of the five-race calendar is scheduled for 13 August.
"The special one will be Silverstone. Racing a thoroughbred grand prix
car in front of a home crowd will be a surreal and mighty experience,"
said Nigel Mansell.
"My last grand prix there was back in 1992 and was one of many
victories that season, which culminated in both the drivers' and
constructors' world championship."
Nigel Mansell added: "To add more chapters to the history we made at
our sell-out event in South Africa is sensational news and I cannot
wait to get back into action.
"If we can deliver anything like the spectacle we succeeded in doing in South Africa the fans will absolutely love it."
Nigel Mansell won the inaugural race at Kyalami in South Africa in November.
The series will also include a visit to Monza, as well as a so far
unnamed venue, before it makes a return visit to Kyalami for the final
round on November 12.
