Renault Roadshow to kick off in Poland.
Thu 19 Apr, 01:44 PM
The Renault F1 team has announced that its Roadshow programme will continue in 2007, with the first event set to take place on the streets of the Polish capital, Warsaw on June 3.
"In line with its philosophy of opening Formula 1 to an ever-wider audience, and offering the public greater access to this secretive world, the Renault F1 Team will this year launch its fourth season of spectacular F1 shows, comprising a mixture of city-centre demonstration runs and hot laps at the World Series by Renault championship," read a statement from the regie. "The title of the programme? The ING Renault F1 Team Roadshow."
Launched in 2003, the programme has already entertained more than 1.5 million people worldwide and has run at a number of venues across the globe including Moscow, Seville, Tokyo, Lyon, Istanbul and Rome.
"The essence of our Roadshow is this: running our F1 cars for the public, on city streets or at a World Series by Renault event," explained Renault F1 team managing director, Flavio Briatore. "We give the people an opportunity to get close to our cars, team and drivers - something they cannot do at a Grand Prix weekend.
"The ING Renault F1 Team Roadshow is designed as a showcase of what modern Formula 1 is all about: a fabulous show, and an unforgettable experience!"
"As a major automotive manufacturer, and a top F1 team, Renault has always sought to combine technical excellence, approachability and fun. Since returning to F1, Renault's philosophy has always been to broaden the sport's appeal to the widest possible audience, while taking our fans closer to the heart of the action, and the people who participate in this remarkable human adventure," added Renault F1 president, Alain Dassas. "The Roadshow programme encapsulates Renault's traditional sporting philosophy. Whether it be passionate fans, casual spectators or people new to our sport, we want to offer the public an exceptional show, completely free of charge."
