Grapevine: Design Liuzzi's race boots!

Alpinestars design and develop the race shoes, suits and gloves for a number of leading F1 drivers, and with this opportunity you get a unique chance to be a part of the final round of the 2006 championship.

The winning design, which Liuzzi will be directly involved in selecting, will be turned into two pairs of racing boots:

• One pair, which will be worn by Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Tonio Liuzzi during the Brazilian GP weekend.

• A second pair, which will be given to the winning designer - signed by Liuzzi before the race in Brazil.

The winning designer will also receive an Alpinestars backpack, containing a cap, lanyard, wallet and stickers.

How to participate

• All you have to do is draw your own design on the Alpinestars race shoe template, either by printing the image and hand drawing, or, using an appropriate computer design package to develop your design electronically.

• The design must incorporate the Alpinestars logo outlines, dimensions, positions and proportions, exactly as they appear on the template, so they remain clearly visible. However, you are free to change the logo outline colours and the colour and texture of the background as you desire.

• There are no limitations on colours, patterns, etc. - make it your own, make it special, and be original!
