Two motor racing legends, Sir Jackie Stewart and Sir Frank Williams, are hoping to put HIT Scotland into the fast lane.

Sir Jackie Stewart OBE and Sir Frank Williams CBE, Principal of the Williams Formula 1 team, have agreed to give the winner of a HIT Scotland charity auction prize a unique experience at the British Grand Prix.

The two Knights will take the winner on a personal joint tour of the Williams garage and pit area. Giving two motor racing winners a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet the two legends in the heart and drama of the world that forged their careers.

Two two-day Formula One Paddock Club passes to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, 4th - 6th July, plus accommodation are included. This incorporates all day hospitality in the Paddock Club including gourmet luncheon, fine wines and open champagne bar with seating in an exclusive viewing facility with access to the VVIP area.

The prize will be one of the lots auctioned at the HIT Scotland Industry Dinner, taking place on the 1st May. The charity is willing to accept bids before the event.

Sir Jackie Stewart OBE said, “Sir Frank and I are very pleased to be supporting HIT Scotland, and all the work they do, developing the emerging talent of the industry in Scotland. We promise to make sure the two winners have a very good time at the British Grand prix!”

William Paterson, from Charity Auctioneers Scotland, who is selling the lot at the Hospitality Industry Trust Scotland Industry Dinner on Thursday May 1st, said, “This prize is unique and difficult to price.
