BMW Sauber F1 Team - Pit Lane Park to visit Las Vegas
The BMW Sauber F1 Team brings Formula One back to Las Vegas
(USA). From January 7 to 10 2008, the spectacular Pit Lane
Park will be stopping off in America's entertainment capital.
For the first time since the 1982 USA Grand Prix, the sound
of a BMW Formula One engine will ring out across the Nevada
Desert once again.
For the BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park, the new year will
kick off in the same way as the current season is seen out:
with an overseas appearance. For the Formula One race weekend
in China, the high-tech event park wowed the fans in Shanghai
from October 5 to 7 with its hands-on Formula One experience.
After a brief winter break it will then set off on its journey
to the United States in January.
Pit Lane Park will be one of the highlights of the support
programme for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
This trade fair, held annually since 1967, is a showcase for
pioneering home entertainment products. The CES has been the
venue for the premiere of such technical innovations as the
video recorder, the CD player and, more recently, high-definition
television (HDTV). The CES is one of the most important trade
fairs for the BMW Sauber F1 Team's Official Corporate Partner
Intel, who will be exhibiting at the event. The exhibition
grounds extend across the Las Vegas Convention Center, the
Las Vegas Hilton hotel and The Venetian, right on the city's
famous Strip. The BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park will be
set up on the Gold Lot car park on the corner of Paradise
Road and Convention Center Drive.
So far this year Pit Lane Park has made appearances in Kuala
Lumpur, Barcelona, Rome, Silverstone, at the Nürburgring,
in Warsaw and in Shanghai. Formula One fans in the US can
now look forward to a very special motor sport experience
early in 2008. Entering the replica pit lane means stepping
through the gateway to motor racing's crowning discipline.
Here visitors can put questions to Formula One experts, prove
their talent as a member of the pit crew in the Pit Stop Challenge,
or clock up some race laps in the simulator. Numerous exhibits
will be on display which visitors are permitted - indeed positively
encouraged - to touch so as to get to know the objects first
hand.
But the highlight of every Pit Lane Park visit are the demonstration
rides along the 90-metre track. A race car from the BMW Sauber
F1 Team and one from Formula BMW, the worldwide junior series
run by BMW, will be putting on some thrilling displays.
