Sun Page 3 Girls Ensure BRC Live! is Looking Good

10 March 2004

The 2004 Kwik-Fit Pirelli British Rally Championship looks set to get off to a flying start as the BRC Live! event swings into action on Sunday 21st March. Championship sponsor, The Sun newspaper will be bringing its fun bus and Page 3 girls to the event, which will mark the launch of this year’s exhilarating competition.

BRC Live! takes place on Sunday 21st March 2004 at the Bramcote Army Base, just outside Nuneaton, Warwickshire, providing families and rally fans with a unique and fun day out. Visitors can watch - and even win a ride in a rally car - with opportunities to talk to many of the competitors and teams. Newcomers and ardent fans alike will gain a real insight into the contenders vying for this year's Championship crown. A fun fair and dodgems, covered grandstands, Pirelli rally simulator, Sony Games and military displays will provide supporting entertainment whilst VIP hospitality and a whole host of trade stalls will ensure to widen the appeal of the event to all the family.

This fantastic event now has the addition of Page 3 girls who will add that essential touch of glamour as they hand out merchandise, such as Sun Scalextric cars and pose for photos with spectators. The girls may even visit the troops in the mess of 30 Signal Regiment to give the Army boys a real morale boost.

Mark Taylor, Championship Manager comments, “BRC Live! is going to be an exciting start to the BRC season. This event provides us with the opportunity to entertain rally fans, families and anyone who’s interested in sport. The Sun fun bus and Page 3 girls are sure to give BRC Live! that extra edge, attracting a wide range of people who are looking for a great day out and certainly a day not to be missed.”

Building on the hugely successful event from last year, the 2004 BRC Live! will also enjoy the support of the Motorsport in the Midlands group, with local authority support.

Kwik-Fit Pirelli BRC competitors will have the opportunity to demonstrate car control in a short special stage, featuring a variety of broken surface and gravel with wide-open corners. Facilities will be provided for rides to be offered for team sponsors and guests and a grand prize draw at lunchtime will present a fantastic opportunity for spectators allowing a once in a lifetime chance to win a ride in one of the rally cars at the show. Up to 30 adults holding an entrance ticket will be picked out at random in a prize draw to experience a ride of a lifetime around the course in the afternoon.
