(GMM) Three times in his career, 1992 world champion Nigel Mansell victoriously took the chequered flag at his home track in Silverstone.
Now, in 2006, the 52-year-old will be given an opportunity to repeat history, with August's 'Grand Prix Masters' single seat race.
In 1987, 1991 and 1992, the former champion won at Silverstone. ''Racing a thoroughbred grand prix car in front of a home crowd will be a surreal and mighty experience,'' Mansell said.
Italian grand prix venue Monza was also named as part of the five-race 2006 calendar, after Mansell won the series' original event in South Africa.
