Teams and drivers signed up for the 2010 Trofeo Abarth 500 GB will compete for a total prize fund valued at £40,000.

London. (Dec. 04, 2009) – Organisers of the Trofeo Abarth 500 GB are offering a prize fund for the inaugural season valued at over £40,000. The prize fund will be a combination of cash, equipment, trophies and an Abarth 500 car.

The championship winning driver will receive an Abarth 500 road car worth £15,000 while the winning team will win a race engine and gearbox valued at £10,000.

The series will also offer race by race prize money totalling £12,600. First place will receive £400 per race. Second place will be awarded £300 and third place will win £200. Winning teams will be awarded trophies on the podium after each race.

Many of the cars on the grid for the 2010 Trofeo Abarth 500 GB will be associated with Abarth dealers. The series will create a Dealer Trophy that will be awarded to the winning dealer.

Paolo Callea, Championship organiser said:

“We understand that the prize fund, along with the calendar, is one of the most important considerations for drivers and teams entering the series. We believe that this prize fund is competitive and will provide real incentive for competitors. The prizes that we are announcing today will be the minimum available. We plan to announce additional prizes as we confirm more details about the 2010 season.”

The Trofeo Abarth 500 GB will consist of 7 events, running alongside some of the biggest races in UK motorsport.

We are working on delivering the third batch of cars to UK. This is scheduled to arrive before Christmas.

If you are intending to take part in the series for 2010, it is strongly suggested that you order your car now.  We are now getting closer to the start of the season and the grid is filling up.

With the announcement that there are no more dealer cars available, new orders from teams has created a renewed high demand. Organisers are soon expected to announce that the grid has reached a maximum amount of cars, so orders should be placed now to avoid dissapointment.
