THE final list of runners and riders for the Daily Echo-backed Magna Mazda British Pedal Car Grand Prix has been announced.

Some 54 entrants have signed up for the pedal powered spectacle on Ringwood’s town centre streets on Sunday July 11.

Race director, Jim Stride, said an extended 1.4km lap had been designed with the express intention of attracting an expanded field.

“More cars means more action. The previous 1km circuit wouldn’t have had enough pit areas to accommodate a larger field.

“We had wondered whether we’d attract enough teams to fill an expanded grid, but entries have flooded in and we filled the 54 slots in no time at all,” said Jim.

First time entrants include officers from Ringwood police station, who will steer a specially designed car with flashing blue lights and a siren.

Ringwood Brewery staff will also enter for the first time in a car set to be painted in the brewery’s distinctive livery.
