AutoCar UK – Vicky Parrott drives Fiat’s most extreme 500

The Trofeo Abarth 500 GB will have a strong presence at RaceCar Live! As the only new British Chamionship for 2010, the Trofeo is keen to meet prospective drivers, partners, teams and stakeholders. Following a highly successful championship launch in October the race series organisers will be on hand over the weekend to discuss their forward plans and expectations for the championship.

A number of cars will be live on circuit, and there are opportunities to sample these fantastic race cars from either a driver or passenger perspective.

For more information see the official site of RaceCar Live!

For testing opportunities, please contact the Trofeo Abarth 500 GB organisers.

The Trofeo GB is delighted to announce that we have been invited to Franciacorta for the first Abarth Day to be held on the 14th of November.

A limited number of places on the grid have been reserved for UK drivers to represent the TROFEO GB in the homeland of the scorpion.

The day will celebrate the first year of racing for the 500 and generally the Abarth brand. All Abarth clubs, owners, drivers, teams and dealers have been invited along to enjoy a day of empowerment.

This is an exclusive invitation for the only race of the day. There will be also chance to get some passenger laps.

This will be a good chance for who want to buy the 500 AC to test it, or for who has already orderd one to get it delivered to this event.

Drivers / Teams / Dealers interested in taking part in the event please contact the organiser.

As the Abarth 500 Trofeo GB gears up for next season and competitors show growing interest by signing up to the series, another batch of 4 cars has been prepared by Abarth in Turin to be shipped to UK in November.

The first batch of sold cars are already on the way to the UK for the Official ‘Trofeo GB’ launch on the 22nd October at Silverstone.

All the cars are built in Turin and are randomly assigned to the teams with the same quality standards and processes applied to every unit that comes out of the factory. The cars not only go through a typical manufacturer check but are also subject to a shakedown and test at the Fiat Group proving ground in Balocco.

Abarth Turin is building a sufficient stock of cars to cover the demand of the UK market. The Abarth 500 Assetto Corse racing cars will be shipped to UK in batches of four. To arrange for delivery, please contact the organisers to book your car.

The car comes as race ready with four new tyres. All cars are painted with the standard white Abarth racing colour.  A passenger seat option is available on request.
