Mark Blundell has confirmed that he will attend The Prince's Trust celebrity track day at
Croft in July to help raise funds to change young lives across the North East.
The celebrity track event will be the last of three sporting activities to be held this year as part of 'The Prince's Trust Challenge Trophy' which last year raised a huge £250,000 to support disadvantaged youngsters in the North East.
The one-day fundraiser will offer lucky ticket holders a chance to enjoy a full day of time trialled driving activities alongside celebrity supporters including MB.
"I was delighted to be invited to take part in what I think is going to be a fantastic track day," said the ex-F1 driver.
"Croft is a great British motor circuit and is challenging and rewarding in equal measure. I'm really looking forward to what should be a thoroughly entertaining charity fundraiser with an edge."
Celebrity-led teams will undergo a series of five timed challenges including driving F1 style single seaters, Porsches, Ferraris and buggies.
Participants will also be given an auto test to gauge their skills behind the wheel.
"This is not just an action-packed opportunity to have fun and raise pulses - participants will also help to raise vital funds to change the lives of many disadvantaged youngsters who deserve a second chance," added David Beavis, North East regional director for The Prince's Trust.
Tickets cost £2,000 per team of four and include entry to this exclusive private event attended by big name celebrities as well as all the instruction and safety equipment necessary.
The high octane activities will commence at 9:00 and finish at 5:30. Lunch, refreshments and an informal barbeque will also be included. All groups over the age of 18 are welcome including families, friends or work colleagues and their corporate clients.
