The 2010 Formula Palmer Audi Championship calendar has been announced and will feature 20 races at seven of the UK’s premier circuits, including Brands Hatch GP and Silverstone.
The championship will commence with a triple header race meeting on the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit before the season continues at Snetterton, Oulton Park and Donington Park respectively. The championship will then visit Rockingham on 28 August, having only previously visited the Northamptonshire circuit once before during the 2002 Autumn Trophy series.
The penultimate event of the 2010 campaign will take place on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit as FPA supports the British F3 and GT Championships, and the season will conclude at Silverstone on 16/17 October with a new-for-2010 four race title showdown.
FPA is providing young drivers with an opportunity to win the biggest prize in British motorsport in 2010, and entries are now open for the grid of 22 cars. This year’s champion will receive a remarkable £100,000 scholarship prize towards a drive in the 2011 FIA Formula Two Championship, and series organizer MotorSport Vision has further enhanced its prize offerings to include an F2 test for the top six finishers in this year’s FPA championship.
A full season in FPA, which includes a pre-season test day at Snetterton, race event hospitality and new onboard video camera technology to aid driver performance analysis, will cost just £59,500 + VAT.
