Europcar has announced that ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona on 10 May, it will be providing its own grand prize.

Europcar car rental Germany and Europcar car rental UK have managed to secure 5 sets of tickets for the upcoming Grand Prix in Spain. These tickets will be offered by Europcar in a Formula 1 prize draw where any European resident aged 18 years and over, who signs up to the Europcar newsletter, will be entered to win pairs of tickets for the upcoming event.

The closing date for the draw is the 30th April. The prize consists of a pair of tickets to see the Spanish Grand Prix, which is due to take place at the physically and mechanically taxing Circuit de Catalunya of Montmelo. The tickets will provide access to see the race on the 10th May as well as the Friday practice and qualifying sessions, which will take place in Barcelona on the 8/9th May.

The race which is officially called the Gran Premio de Espana de Formula One, has changed considerably since it was first run in 1913 at Guadarrama. A regular fixture of the Grand Prix programme, 2009 marks the 19th time Barcelona has hosted the Spanish Grand at Catalunya, with its mix of high and low-speed corners.

Since Nigel Mansell won the first Catalunya based race in 1991, Michael Schumacher has proved to be the most successful driver at tackling the circuit. However amongst the current drivers, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, have all shown their abilities and what it takes to be a success at this challenging track, having each won at least once in the last four years. With the addition of World Champion Lewis Hamilton and the early form of the Brawn GP team to also contend with, the winners of the Europcar prize are assured a fantastic 2009 race experience.

The prize draw will take place under independent supervision on 1st May, where five entries will be chosen and the winners will be notified the same day.

COSTA MESA, CA–(Marketwire - April 18, 2009) - The Automobile Club of Southern California will host an Automotive Fair next month that will feature something for every motorist, especially during a tough economy: a teen driver safety fair, an Enterprise used car sale, new and antique vehicles displays, Show Your Card & Save® vendors, a mini-travel show and a special appearance by top NHRA Funny Car drivers from the John Force Racing Team.

The free fair is designed to help Auto Club members drive safely, save money and help them care for their vehicles. Guests can also try a racing simulator, have their vehicle’s speedometer tested, visit a mini-travel show featuring economical drive vacations, and learn from under-the-hood maintenance demonstrations. The AAA Battery Service van and an Auto Club Automotive Research Center-Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) display with fuel economy and carbon footprint information also will be at the event.

The fair will be held at the Auto Club Administrative Offices, 3333 Fairview Road, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 9. Parking is also free.

The teen driver safety “fair within a fair” is focused on helping families learn about community organizations that provide information for young drivers and parents. The teen driver fair also will feature “custom car fits” with Auto Club Driving School instructors showing teens and parents safety-belt, foot pedals, mirrors and seat-height adjustments to ensure young drivers achieve a good safety fit before they drive. Most teens practice in the family vehicle and will need to make these adjustments each time they get behind the wheel, said Manager of the Auto Club’s Driving School Kathy Downing.

Teens who visit the fair should wear closed-toe shoes so they can scale a rock-climbing wall that demonstrates a drop similar to a 20 mph car crash. A teen driver crashed vehicle donated by a Southern California family also will be displayed.

“Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of deaths for teens,” said the Auto Club’s Community Programs and Traffic Safety Team Lead Anita Lorz. “To help reduce these tragedies, the Auto Club is hosting this regional traffic safety fairs to share the most up-to-date information with families to prepare their teen driver for the road.”

The Auto Club Driving School and 11 community groups will offer teen-driver topics, including California’s Graduated Driver Licensing law, which the Auto Club sponsored.

The parking lot also will gleam with more than 100 Enterprise late-model pre-owned cars and trucks selling at discounted prices. High quality economy, luxury and popular sedans will be sold at pre-arranged, haggle-free competitive prices. Rental car companies like Enterprise have a reliable stock of pre-owned cars since vehicles are driven 1-2 years before offered for sale. Financing and auto insurance will be available during the sale.

“New car prices, now averaging more than $28,000, are making well-running pre-owned cars an attractive option for consumers,” said the Auto Club’s Car Buying Service Manager David Cavano. “Buyers can test drive a wide variety of vehicles to help them choose the best vehicle for their needs. Vehicles with readily available safety equipment recommended for teen-drivers also are expected to be at the Enterprise car sale.”

Top NHRA Funny Car racers John Force, Ashley Force Hood, and Robert Hight will sign autographs for fans from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. near the racing simulator and Show Your Card & Save® vendors.
