This offer comes as part of Williams support for National Motorsports week jointly promoted by the MSA (Motor Sports Association) and MIA (Motorsport Industry Association) - more details of which can be found here.
Sir Frank Williams said, "The MIA does a fantastic job and when we were approached to host a fan day we were delighted to accept. The Williams F1 ethos has always been to try and bring the world of F1 closer to fans and this is the perfect opportunity to give them a look behind the scenes and learn about the effort that goes into putting our cars on the track. I am sure that the lucky 200 fans that will join us in October will have a fun and informative day."
