Red Bull F1 prize for rising stars at UK World Trial
By TMX Archives on 15th Jul 11
Austrian based energy drink giants, Red Bull, have announced details of a truly unbelievable prize, which will be available to young British riders taking part in the UK leg of the SPEA FIM Trial World Championship during the weekend of July 30/31.
In just over two-weeks time Nevis Range, Fort William, Scotland, will play host to the sixth round of the world trials series where riders in the Youth (16 to 18-year-old) and Junior (16 to 23-year-old) categories who hold a British competition license will be in with a chance of winning this once in a life-time prize.
Founded in 1984, Red Bull globally supports some of the greatest athletes and teams throughout a multitude of different disciplines, including World Pro class competitors Adam Raga (Gas Gas) and Dougie Lampkin (Gas Gas).
Anyone who attended last year's edition of the UK World Trial will remember the four awesome sections that made up the Red Bull zone, which will make a welcome return this year. Located at the highest point of the course, some 1,200-meters above sea level, the four individual hazards offer stunning panoramic views of the surrounding highlands and the lochs below.
The four zones that will comprize sections nine, ten, 11 and 12, have been titled Red Bull Rage, Red Bull Ravine, Red Bull Revenge and Red Bull Falls.
As the names suggest this quartet of hazards promises to be some of the most challenging parts of the course and will be used to decide the winner of the Red Bull Racing factory visit.
The Youth or Junior rider with the lowest total score during Sunday's competition through these four sections, on their respective route, will walk away with an extra reward for their efforts.
The lucky winner will be invited to attend a guided factory tour of the Red Bull Racing facility at the Brackley headquarters. Here they will have behind the scenes access to Red Bull Racing's Formula 1 project, making this a prize that money can't buy.
Jake Miller of L+M Events, co-promoter of this years British GP said: "Having Red Bull involved in our event for a second year in succession is a real honour and brings a wide range of benefits for all to enjoy.
"Last year the company's four supported sections at the top of Nevis Range were some of the riders' favourite hazards and made brilliant viewing for spectators.
"It is great to see a company of Red Bull's size and status giving something back to younger competitors. The concern has a unique approach to up-and-coming talent as well as supporting its top line athletes. It is exactly opportunities like this, which makes having Red Bull involved in the event such a pleasure.”
