ULTIMATE PRIZE ON OFFER DURING BOB JANE T-MARTS 1000
21/5/2004 19:59 (Press Release) -
There’s added incentive for motor racing fans to get in early and book their seats for this year’s Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 at Bathurst’s Mt Panorama on October 7 to 10, with a unique pre-purchase ticketing deal announced today.
All purchasers of grandstand seating automatically qualify for the draw for the ULTIMATE race experience, where a lucky fan will be ushered to one of the top Holden or Ford teams and taken on a guided pit tour by drivers competing in the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000.
Complementing the on-track experience, the winner will also receive a set of four Dunlop SP3000A tyres, fitted and balanced at any Bob Jane T-Marts store in Australia.
Dunlop is the official supplier of tyres to the Australian V8 Supercar Championship Series.
Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster7.com or by calling 1300 136 122.
IMG Director of Motorsport, James O’Brien is encouraging fans to book their seats before the September 24 promotion deadline.
“The Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 is the pinnacle of Australian V8 Supercar racing and remains true to its reference as the ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN,” said O’Brien.
“The winner will witness first hand the workings of the top V8 Supercar teams and become an honourary member of either a Holden or Ford team.
“It’s a rarity for such an opportunity to present itself where the general public can become an active participant during this motorsports spectacular.
“We are pleased to be able to offer this once in a lifetime experience and can guarantee one lucky punter a truly memorable time during the 42nd Bob Jane T-Marts 1000.
“Our thanks to Dunlop Tyres and ofcourse Bob Jane T-Marts as event sponsor for making it all possible.”
“An announcement over coming weeks will confirm the Holden and Ford V8 Supercar teams that will allow one lucky grandstand ticket holder access to their newly constructed pit garage.
On the strength of last year’s impressive attendance figure of 158,832 over the four days of the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 feature, organisers are confident yet another healthy crowd will be there to witness the 2004 ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN between Ford and Holden.
“Already grandstand ticket sales suggest a bumper crowd will be there to see the unfolding of yet another chapter in Australia’s premier motor racing event.
“This added pre-purchase ticketing incentive should encourage V8 Supercar fans to book now to at least have the chance to become a part of a new era of motor racing at Mt Panorama.
“The Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 will showcase a host of new facilities in 2004 including 36 pit garages where a lucky individual will become one of the first members of the general public to have access to.
“Developments at Bathurst’s Mt Panorama are tracking well for the October 7-10 event, but it’s the fans that make the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 such a special occasion and we extend a warm welcome to all and sundry.”
