Default Subaru World Rally Team opens its doors for charity day

Just received this from SWRT via email so thought I would share with you guys:

Subaru World Rally Team opens its doors for charity day

Motorsport fans will get the chance to see behind the scenes at the Subaru World Rally Team’s Banbury headquarters on July 29 and 30 as part of a charity open day organised by Prodrive.

The event, which will raise money for Children’s Hospital in nearby Oxford, will enable visitors to see where the company designs and builds the Impreza WRC2006 as well as other Prodrive motorsport projects including the Aston Martin DBR9. All the workshops will be open so visitors can see how the WRC engines, gearboxes and electrical systems are made and how hundreds of other complex parts are manufactured before final assembly.

Members of the Subaru World Rally Team will set up the team's WRC service park on site and will put on live demonstrations of the work carried out during WRC rallies.

Race and rally cars from Prodrive’s 20 years in motorsport will also be on display, including the Imprezas of Colin McRae and Richard Burns, a 1980s Porsche 911 and MG 6R4 group B rally cars; James Thompson’s 1998 Honda Accord Super Touring Car; Alain Menu’s BTCC-winning Ford Mondeo and Jenson Button’s 2004 F1 car.

There will be food and entertainment for people of all ages and team merchandise will be available at specially discounted prices.

A limited number of tickets are available for each day. The price is £10 for adults and £6 for children under 16 (under 5’s are free). Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.prodrive.com/openday with all the proceeds going to the Oxford Children’s Hospital appeal.

It's Prodrive not SWRT.

Should be a great weekend

If you're subscribed to the SWRT newsletter (which Prodriva has cut and paste into his first post )

then I think you'll find they've organised this day at Prodrive

No need at all, I had the same email so thought I might point mickp in the right direction (Plus I just noticed Id put Prodiva instead of Prodriva )
