Minardi to debut four two-seaters

EUROPEAN MINARDI will debut four of their Formula One style two-seater cars when they take to the track at Donington Park on Thursday.

Drivers Tarso Marques, Andrea Piccini, David Saelens and Minardi boss Paul Stoddart will take a host of special guests around the circuit as part of the two-seater program.

"I'm really looking forward to the first of our F1x2 days at Donington," said Stoddart.

"Quite apart from the thrill of driving these cars, it gives all of us a huge amount of pleasure to be able to let our passengers experience the performance of a modern Grand Prix car.

"It is the closest most 'normal' individuals will ever come to experiencing Formula One for themselves, and the looks on the faces of passengers as they climb out of the cars are usually priceless."
