£100,000 F2 scholarship prize for 2010 FPA Champion

The 2010 Formula Palmer Audi Championship offers young drivers an opportunity to win the biggest prize in British motorsport, as this year's champion will receive a remarkable £100,000 scholarship prize towards a drive in the 2011 FIA Formula Two Championship.

As well as offering a huge financial reward for the 2010 champion, series organiser MotorSport Vision has further enhanced its prize offerings this season to include an official Formula Two test for the top six finishers in this year's FPA championship. 

MotorSport Vision Chief Executive Jonathan Palmer said: "Clearly the current economic climate continues to be challenging and our philosophy with both FPA and F2 is to provide exceptional affordability, which has never been more important. 

"Whoever wins the 2010 FPA Championship will be an outstanding talent, most deserving of progressing to F2 en route to their F1 dream, and I wanted to have a championship prize that was going to make a real difference to that driver's chance of progressing their career.  With our record £100,000 scholarship prize, the cost of a Formula Two season for the FPA championship winner is likely to be around just £185,000, which is an incredibly low sum for an F1 feeder championship."
