##Sign post--left## Visitors to the Fleet News ride and drives will be able to experience the thrills – but hopefully not too many spills – of worldclass rally driving, thanks to Pirelli.

The company is the latest to sign up to Fleet News Drive, two ride and drive events, being held at Brands Hatch on April 9-10 and Oulton Park on April 30/May 1. Pirelli will bring two rally cars with qualified drivers to each event giving visitors a nail-biting taste of life in the fast lane.

Pirelli joins a growing list of industry leading companies attending Fleet News Drive: Ford, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Volvo, Citroen and Toyota. Among the manufacturer highlights will be the C3, Citroen's new small car, showcased for the first time in the UK before a fleet audience.

Fleet decision-makers will be able to drive cars on the racetrack at each venue, road routes and also on a special off-road course.

In addition to test drives, seminars will be held throughout each day, covering key fleet topics that have a major impact on the operation of modern-day fleets. A number of these will also count towards professional qualifications for accountants and finance directors.

Other professionals who will benefit from attending the event include fleet and finance experts, human resources managers, directors and managerial staff.
