IF YOU dream of becoming a racing driver but feel your current course is unlikely to steer you in the right direction, Vauxhall's VXR Racing Driver of the Year 2008 competition could be just what you're looking for.

The winner of this year's competition will become a fully-sponsored racing driver, competing in the Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup in 2009.

The entry qualifications are simple. The only requirement is that you must be aged over 21 and never previously held a racing licence.

Simply visit www.vxrdriver.co.uk and complete the online questionnaire by Friday, June 27. 1,620 successful applicants will be selected and put through their paces in the karting semi-finals, before 15 finalists are selected for the intensive three-day boot camp-style final.

Vauxhall's group marketing manager Richard Hughes said: "The competition gives one member of the public a chance to become a racing driver, with a fully paid drive for the 2009 season."

"One of last year's finalists is now working as part of the Vauxhall VX Racing team, competing in the British Touring Car Championship."

The competition winner will be fully supported and mentored throughout his 2009 season: the new racing driver will even have full use of a brand new Vauxhall road car as part of the prize.

Last year's winner, 34-year-old mortgage consultant John Allison from Beverley, East Yorkshire, represented Vauxhall VXR for the first time last weekend at Snetterton circuit in the 2008 Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup.

For further information on the competition, a profile of last year's winner and to enter the 2008 contest, go to www.vxrdriver.co.uk
