From Motor Insurance to Driving Ambitions

As well as providing cheap UK motor insurance, Performance Direct caters for the drivers of what the insurance industry calls 'non-standard' vehicles, offering classic car insurance, van and motorcycle insurance, sports car cover, imported vehicle insurance, modified and high value vehicle insurance.

Performance Direct helps so-called ‘non standard drivers’ too – this doesn't mean anything unusual; the self employed, drivers with points on their licenses or individuals who use their car for work are all, in insurance terminology, 'non-standard' cases.

Through Performance Direct's work with classic car insurance, modified and prestige vehicle insurance, the company often identifies individuals with unusual motoring ideas and dreams. These include vehicle restoration projects, original road trips, record attempts,
charity events and challenges. In many cases, however, these ideas remain untried, often because the individuals lack the basic finance to make their ideas happen.

That's why Performance Direct invented the Non Standard Motoring Awards.

The Non Standard Motoring Awards – How they Work?

Whether you have dreams of driving from Lands End to John O'Groats in a vintage BMW, restoring a classic VW Camper Van or painting your Porsche to look like the Sistine Chapel, if you need assistance to help realise your driving ambitions or slightly mad projects, then the Non-Standard Awards are for you!

The more different the idea the better – Performance Direct don't want anything irresponsible or dangerous – just original, achievable ideas (they should be associated with motoring and if there's a charity element that'll be good, although it's not essential).

To date, the Non Standard Awards have helped a man drive around the world in a modified Mini, taken a team from Practical Classics Magazine across the USA, supported the restoration of the Allard Chrysler Dragster (the UK's first Dragster), helped with the restoration of a 1973 Jenson Interceptor, allowed a couple drive their Skoda across Europe and taken two teams to the Nuburgring in Germany.

To qualify for an Award, Performance Direct will need to know exactly what finance is required, why you need it and you'll also have to persuade the expert judges that you'll be able to carry out your idea. The judging process will be rigorous, so forget it if you can't deliver!

How to Apply?

Applications for the Non Standard Awards are open all year ‘round.

Simply visit http://www.performancedirect.co.uk/car-insurance/apply-fo...

And fill in a our simple application (remember, you need to be based in the UK to enter.)

Your entry should explain, in no more than 200 words, your idea and the amount of money required to make it happen.

Then, also in less than 200 words, we'll also need to know about you. We'll obviously need proof that your idea is realisable and, as far as you can, that you can  ‘pull it off'! Please include any supporting photos or information with the application.

Every application will be acknowledged and an initial shortlist will be sent out. Short listed candidates may be asked to attend an interview with an expert judging panel in London (Some Terms and Conditions will apply).

Performance Direct is prepared to receive applications for up to £10,000. However, applications for smaller amounts will be looked upon favourably. There is no
minimum application and we are happy to act as a co sponsor of an idea.
