Action at Bercy
Rather than relying on star names the event will concentrate of a battle between seven nations with the best young drivers from around the world representing their countries at the Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy. On each day of the competition there will be a "Prestige Team" which will feature stars such as Panis.
Amongst those who will be in action are Toyota F1 test driver Franck Perera representing France; the Karting World Champion Vitantonio Liuzzi (Italy) and McLaren protege Lewis Hamilton (GB).
The rising stars category will feature Formula 3000 racer Sebastien Bourdais, former F1 driver Franck Lagorce, American hope Patrick Long and F3 drivers Bruno Besson and Olivier Pla. There will also be an international junior event with some of the stars of the Junior Karting scene (from the 15-17 age bracket) including the European Champion Germany's Sebastien Vettel and the runner-up Michal Vorba of Czechoslovakia.
