A THREE-TIME Grand Prix winner will take to the stage to talk about his colourful motor racing career.

Essex’s Johnny Herbert, whose first Formula 1 win came in front of a home crowd at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone, will talk to fans at Basildon’s Towngate Theatre, in St Martin’s Square.

He raced alongside his driving partner Michael Schumacher for Benetton in 1995 and scooped Grand Prix wins at Monza and the Nurburgring.

The talk takes place on Thursday, September 12, from 7.30pm. For tickets, call the box office on 01268 465465.
