The Prize

Schumacher won his first two world titles, of seven, driving for the Benetton F1 team. This exhaust pipe bank is from the 1995 B195 that Benetton used to win his second world title, matching the record at the time for number of wins in a season, scoring 9 wins in 16 races powered by the all-conquering Renault V10.

The exhaust pipe bank is made of exotic metals and must have taken hundreds of man hours to produce and cost upwards of £10,000 to manufacture. It has been cleaned up for display but has a nice glow to it from usage. It is mounted on a sturdy base with a carbon fibre stand holding it in place. The plaque details Schumacher's and Benetton's F1 world championships.

Win this rare opportunity to own an item from Formula One's most successful driver, boasting seven world championships and 91 race wins driving for the successful Benetton team (Enstone team). It went on to form the title-winning Renault team that Alonso drove for which still exists today as the current Renault F1 team.

It comes with a framed certificate of authenticity from the Benetton F1 team.

The Cause

With a history spanning over a century, UK Youth is a leading national charity committed to ensuring all young people are empowered to build bright futures regardless of their background or circumstances. They sit at the heart of a national network of youth organisations to support young people across the UK who are in need of advice and training to equip them with vital life skills.

Most of the young people they support face a range of challenges. Over half of the young people on their programmes are from deprived areas of the UK and three in four face personal barriers including low income family constraints, not being in education, employment or training (NEET), having special educational needs, being a young carer, and having mental health challenges. In 2017, almost 100,000 young people directly benefited from their work.
