ING Renault F1 Team pursues its Roadshow programme in South
Africa!
After kicking off its world tour in Poland at the start of
June, the ING Renault F1 Team is now preparing for its second
major event of the year, to be held in South Africa in July.
In the four years since it was launched, the ING Renault
F1 Team Roadshow has set itself a simple goal: to take enthusiasts
and newcomers alike to the heart of the action, and to offer
them a welcoming, unique experience around motorsport and
Formula 1.
After visiting numerous major cities around the globe since
2003, the ING Renault F1 Team Roadshow is aiming in 2007 to
grow even further, and generate visibility and awareness for
the French manufacturer in key growth markets. Following the
highly successful visit to Poland in early June, the team
will visit Africa for the first time in July, for a spectacular
demonstration run in the streets of Johannesburg on 28 and
29 July.
A special street circuit will be devised through the streets
of the Sandton municipality, a major commercial district in
the city, on which the ING Renault F1 Team will conduct a
spectacular run of its Formula 1 car – and bring the
South African public a welcome taste of modern F1, in a country
which has not welcomed a race since the last Grand Prix held
at Kyalami in 1993.
Giancarlo Fisichella and Nelson Piquet Jr. will represent
the world champions during this exceptional event, as the
Italian explained:
"I am very excited about this next Roadshow. I have
never been to South Africa, as I was too young to ever have
competed in the race at Kyalami. But I have heard a lot about
the country, and people have told me what an extraordinary
place it is: I can't wait to get there! Along with our unique
Roadshow team, we will be looking to put on a really spectacular
show for the public in Johannesburg – and I hope to
meet plenty of them there!"
