Pedal Car GP
Leyland's very FIRST PEDAL CAR Grand Prix.
Race through Leyland town centre as fast as you can pedal. Teams of up to 4 and a race manager!
This amazing community event sees 10 plus pedal-powered cars from all over the country over taking on the streets of Leyland town centre for an 2 hour sprint race in the style and razzmatazz of “Formula One Racing” at 2pm on Saturday 10th July 2010 and again on Sunday for the Junior GP at 2:00pm.
This off-beat is something everyone should do at least once or at the very least come along as a spectator.
With huge crowds expected, the competitive tension, the thrills and spills, the race commentary and the atmosphere of a Racing Circuit, this all goes to make this a unique and most memorable experience.
Both Radio and Media supporting the coverage of this spectacle will be in attendance.

The circuit is flat out for most of the way with just a few corners of note, with overtaking at three abreast in the fastest sections. The opposition is likely to be absolutely first class.
The judging of the Concours D' Elegance is held on the Saturday and Sunday for the teams so that members of the public can come along and get a sneak preview.
Race Day:
The pedal cars assemble in the Pits from 10.00am, with the race starting at 2.00pm.
Spectators are able to walk around the whole course to watch the race from various different vantage points. The whole emphasis of the event is to have FUN!
The chequered flag is waved at the winning car at 4.00pm and the champagne spraying trophy presentations are held on the podium at 4.15pm.
