[italic][bold]Ringwood’s British Pedal Car Grand Prix 2008[/bold][/italic]
With the sun shining on 15 deep crowds at the amazing the 21st anniversary of Ringwood’s British Pedal Car Grand Prix, celebrities Rory McGrath racing in Team No 1 BARTON MOMENTS & Paddy McGuinness in Team 19 BARTON PUPS flew in complete with their production company Channel 5 to make an hour long programme to be shown soon.
The Wave 105, Team No 2 came in 17th place as Wave’s presenters Andy Jackson and Steve Power gave it everything they had and covered 53 laps and wishing that they had trained a little more seriously for the GP.
Only 10 seconds separated winning Team No 28 GREAT CENTRAL RACING and Team No 33 RADIO ACTIVE RACING, having completed 66 laps of Ringwood’s of the one kilometre race circuit. Mike Lingham-Wilgoss provided the exhilarating race commentary as teams were fighting tooth and nail for the top prize with teams locking wheels and tipping on to two wheels, only just recovering before crashing out.
2006 winners PATERSON BANGERS picked up third place with 64 laps completed.
PINK PANTHERS, Team 31 were the Concours D’elegance winners for best judged car and 13 year old team leader Katie Stride received the gleaming Trophy and bottle of champagne. Best under 16’s went to Team 34 CRAZY FROGS completing 58 laps.
Spectators standing in front of the Magna Mazda podium were sprayed with Champagne as the celebrations took place. TV crews captured the moment with banks of media cameras close by.
Daily Echo reporter Tim John raced with Team 26 ROYCE was truly taken back by the experience of racing in such a massive community event “ I have never witnessed such an event, this is in a league of its own!. Truly outstanding”
Thank you to every one for supporting the British Pedal Car Grand Prix, see you all in 2010 in the closed streets of Ringwood
