Tim, a former RAC rally champion driver, whose team was called the Cornish Fasties, is the managing director of Ferris Garage Limited.
A lifelong rugby supporter and keen follower of the Pirates, Tim recently met up with Cornish Pirates directors Rod Coward and Robin Turner, and has chosen to travel with the side when they play Plymouth Albion in November.
The winner of the first draw, Derek Penhaligon, will be travelling up north to Otley in September.
The third and final director's draw is scheduled for today with the winner to be announced next week.
● Interest for the Pirates' two pre-season friendly fixtures has been considerable. The first game will be played at Camborne against Redruth on Saturday August 16, and the second against Italian Super 10 side Almaviva Capitolina on Saturday August 23. Both matches will kick-off at 5pm.
Tickets for the games can be purchased from the ticket office, 01736 331961, or at www.cornish-pirates.com, with other ticket outlets likely to be confirmed shortly.

● Saturday sees the return of the successful Falmouth Pub7s at the Recreation Ground.
This is the third year of the event being hosted at Falmouth and is again sponsored by St Austell Brewery. As with previous years the event is a charity day with the proceeds this year going to the Children's Hospice Southwest Precious Lives Appeal.
