These and several other famous faces will be adorning the RB8's of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. Upload, Donate and your image could be rubbing shoulders with them as it races around the Silverstone circuit at this years British Grand Prix. One lucky entrant will even get a chance to hang out in the paddock with the team during Free Practice.

As momentum gathers behind the Faces for Charity campaign, more and more famous Formula One figures are adding their photos and sharing messages of support for the Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation including Bernie Ecclestone, David Coulthard and Eddie Jordon.

Faces for Charity gives Formula One fans the chance to put their photos on Sebastian Vettel’s and Mark Webber’s Formula One cars at this year’s British Grand Prix, 6-8 July 2012. Organised for the charity Wings for Life, the initiative is open to anyone around the world who wants to join Red Bull Racing at this year’s Silverstone Grand Prix and donate to an incredible cause.
Understandably, both former and current Formula One drivers don’t want to miss out on the chance to race with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber on the Silverstone circuit! Niki Lauda, Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert, Anthony Davidson, Daniel Ricciardo, Jean Eric-Vergne, David Coulthard, Eddie Jordon and Jackie Stewart have all backed the Faces for Charity campaign, encouraging people to UPLOAD, DONATE, RACE.

To take part it’s a simple process. Go to www.facesforcharity.com, upload a photo, donate £12 (15 Euros) to Wings for Life and you will be ready to race. Red Bull Racing will match every donation made and 100% of all donations will go directly to Wings for Life’s spinal cord injury research projects around the world.

Former British Formula One driver David Coulthard is an ambassador for Wings for Life and having survived a fatal plane accident 12 years ago, has a very personal motivation for supporting spinal cord injury research. “I have been lucky – not just once in my life,” says David Coulthard. “The ability to walk is not something to be taken for granted. There are many people out there who are less fortunate than I was and who are left paralysed following an accident or fall. Wings for Life enables medical progress in spinal cord research. Faces for Charity is a great way to support this great cause and become part a part of racing history. So, go to facesforcharity.com now and upload, donate, race!”

Photos can be uploaded until 17 June 2012 – or until all the spaces are sold out. More than 25,000 images will then come together to create an extraordinary collage, which will feature on both Red Bull Racing’s RB8s throughout the entire British Grand Prix weekend.

Donors will also be automatically into a free prize draw to attend the British Grand Prix with Red Bull Racing, to see the Faces for Charity cars and the Team in action.
