Kate now travels to Mexico for a fun filled week to compete for the prestigious title ‘Face of Champ Car’ – she competes against Grand Prix titleholders from Long Beach, Houston, Edmonton, San Jose and Cleveland in what’s anticipated as the ultimate international sports model search. The intense week in Mexico includes VIP parties, special appearances, international media interviews, a feature shoot with FHM magazine, autograph sessions, parade laps with Champ Car Drivers and if any spare time she may enjoy the sights all whilst having her own personal security. If she wins Kate will sign a representative contract to act as the ambassador and official representative for the 2008 Champ Car World Series.
