The STIG should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Marshals Tours of McLaren
"Vodafone McLaren Mercedes will be offering its own support to National Motorsport Week. Britain’s most successful F1 team will be acknowledging and rewarding the legion of volunteer marshals who give up their time to ensure the smooth running of thousands of motor sport events staged in the UK every year. Recognising their contribution, McLaren is offering all registered marshals the opportunity to visit the state-of-the-art McLaren Technology Centre in Woking later in the year via a special competition which, again, will be hosted on the www.GoMotorsport.net website during National Motorsport Week."

As seen here : http://www.overdrive-uk.com/2011/06/...-fans-for.html

(well ok, as I posted there!!)

Could very well be worth a look. Don't have any details of exactly when the competition will be posted yet though.

Mclaren's not British, it's KIWI.

(That will most likley start an argument).

Only in that Bruce Mclaren himself was a Kiwi, but that the race team has always been based in England!!!!!!!! Think you'll find in the FIA paperwork, it'll definitely show the team as British, hence the BRITISH national anthem being played when they win a GP.

It's Kiwi, always has been always will be. Employed largley NZ'ers, set up by a Kiwi, for the most part the drivers were Kiwi (until Bruce's death).

The day I call it British is the day hell freeze's over.
