A FORMULA One Motor Racing enthusiast is hoping to get his hero's autograph when he visits the American Grand Prix in Indianapolis at the end of this month. It is a dream come true for 25-year-old Nigel Dennison of Rail Gate, Britannia, Bacup.

He has been saving for months to go on the trip and his ambition is to visit every Grand Prix circuit in the world. He has already been to Silverstone, but this is his first major foreign trip to watch F1.

Nigel, pictured with a photograph of his hero, said: "I have been an F1 fan for 20 years and I am prepared to queue up and wait all night for Michael Schumacher's autograph. He is the best driver I've ever seen. I've already met Nigel Mansell, but meeting Michael would be the ultimate."
