Those already signed up for the invite only 9up Team Time Trial include; Forumla 1 teams, MotoGP teams, professional and semi-professional cycling teams and members of the armed forces. The events takes place on Friday, August 10, and will be raising money for Help for Heroes and charities supported by the circuit
