1st Jun 2016

2010 was certainly a season for Mark Webber, his fans and followers to remember.  We are delighted to have on display Mark’s 2010 Red Bull Racing RB6 F1 car. The exhibition opened on the 5th March 2016 and focuses on the four wins that made the year so special for him.  On the 1st June 2016 Mark Webber officially opened the exhibition and in conjunction with his visit to the Museum we partnered with the Blackmore Vale Media and ran a competition to design the Formula 1 car of 2050.  As our guest of honour at the prize giving after which there was an interview and answer (Q & A) session and finally a limited book signing with Mark.

The competition winners were: Amy Ayling – 0 to 7 years, Gillen Minchin – 8 to 16 years and Dan Hopkins – 17 & overs.  Each winner received a signed photograph of Mark, a copy of his latest book and access to a private buffet lunch with Mark.  The day was a great success with over 300 people attending the Q&A session and Mark signed over 100 books.
