11th March 2010 – London, United Kingdom
NASCAR AND RALLY CHAMPS LINE-UP FOR SUPER COMPETITIVE CPC LEGENDS CARS
SERIES

CPC Legends Cars, one of the most exciting motorsport series in the UK, is
pleased to announce a diverse and top quality 2010 entry, including NASCAR
driver and previous World Legends Champion John Mickel and triple British
Rally Champion Mark Higgins.

The series has been boosted by these two big names but they will not have it
easy with an existing entry of quality packed all the way through the field.
Four times World Legends Champion, John Mickel, comes off the back off a
super successful winter culminating in victory at the American Speed Association’s Freestate 500 in
Welkom, South Africa against a quality line-up of top US drivers. Mickel has
always had a soft spot for Legends with a fantastic rate of wins in the UK
series and the prestigious World finals. Mickel, will juggle the UK CPC
Legends Cars Championships while he guns for glory as the only British
driver competing in the elite NASCAR Series. John explained "It's going to
be a busy year with both the Legends and NASCAR racing, I should earn some
airmiles for sure! I love the Legends, they breed close racing, no-one
clears off and there's always a cracking atmosphere in the pits. Bring it
on!"

Following his three Legends races last season, Triple British Rally Champion
Mark Higgins has got hooked by the small nimble cars and has purchased a
Legends car with the intention of racing in the 2010 CPC UK Legends
Championship, at rounds that do not clash with his other commitments.
Mark, who had top six finishes in his three races at Pembrey, said "Legends
racing is fantastic, there was a great atmosphere at the event, it's a great
value for money championship & I absolutely loved it, even though I have a
lot to learn".

Eager to keep his No.1 plate in the series is Lee Fitzpatrick, who was
pushed all the way to the wire last year by Stephen Treherne (Team Karcher)
and his Burnett Motorsport team mate John Higgins.
With a full entry and ultra-close racing, this could be a year to remember
for the CPC Legends Cars series!

Phil Cooper, Series Organiser for CPC Legends Cars commented "This really is
shaping up as a great year for CPC Legends Cars, to have drivers of the
calibre of John and Mark choosing our series is testament to its appeal. It
also fires up the regular drivers as they know they will need to stay at the
top of their game. Let battle commence!"

Legends Cars are 5/8 scale racers based on pre-war Ford, Chevy and Dodge
bodies with a unique 'Funny Car' style. Under the bonnet they are driven by
identical Yamaha 1250cc, a combination designed to keep the machines ultra
lightweight and highly manoeuvrable for close, exciting racing. The Legends
Car is a real race car, consisting of a tubular frame and roll cage, a
locked differential and tight, responsive steering.

Strict rules limit modifications, keep the costs down and reveal the talents
of the drivers. Equal performance and reversed grids guarantee fast,
exciting and dramatic racing. The series has seen consistently high grids
with an impressive 32 potential machines for the new season and past
Champions have a habit of returning after failing to find the same buzz in
other classes.
