I am very pleased to announce our very first prize competition.
It will take the form of a “best article" as decided by public vote.
Up for grabs is a fantastic Exoto 1:18 scale model, very generously donated by ZakspeedYakspeed.
The winner gets to choose one of these two models:
1968 Lotus Type 49B (GPC97006) - car 12, put on pole at the 1968 US GP by Mario Andretti

1980 Renault RE-20 Turbo (GPC97090) - car 15, driven in the 1980 French GP by Jean-Pierre Jabouille
http://www.exoto.com/s/1/ProductDetails.aspx?Language=en&CategoryId=148&ProductId=1133
The competition is free to enter and open to all members, including staff.
The rules are as follows:
In the event of a tie, a further vote will be carried out between the tied entries, and so on until there is an eventual winner.
If after several rounds of voting there isn’t a clear winner, a random draw will be made by a staff member.
You have just over a week to start composing your articles before the competition is officially open for entries, so plenty of time to get those creative juices flowing.
Although there is no minimum word limit, to stand a good chance of winning, it will more than likely need to be at least several hundred words long.
A notice will be in place as soon as the competition is open.
Please do not post any articles before the competition opens otherwise they will be ineligible.
The competition is now open.
Feel free to post any questions, queries, comments, etc. on this thread.
Good luck everyone!
