“To me, this is a no-brainer!” the former Honda F1 team boss said, “First, you go and visit one of the best racing car shows in the world while, at the same time, spending time with your friends and family. Let's not forget, you can also have some fun with them bumping around the kart track for a couple of hours, but, most importantly, you can do all this and help a charity as well! I can think of many worse ways to spend an afternoon.”

The entry list is also expected to boast multiple ALMS racewinner and champion Allan McNish as well as DTM star Gary Paffett, BTCC ace Darren Turner; this year's Macau F3 GP winner and A1 Team GBR driver Oliver Jarvis; BTCC race-winner Tom Onslow-Cole - fresh from his Wembley triumph with the Crash.net team - and GP2 ace Adam Carroll.

“We are really gaining a lot of momentum now and the response from the star drivers and public has been superb," Brabham commented, "The racing is going to be hotly contested and I am sure the public will have fun watching it while the drivers will be getting the Christmas break boredom out of their system. Meanwhile, with the race being televised all over the world, the charities and sponsors will have great TV awareness.”
