ING Renault F1 Team takes Mexico by storm!
The ING Renault F1 Team put on a breathtaking, record-breaking
show in the streets of Mexico City to bring down the curtain
on its 2007 Roadshow programme.
After months of preparation by Renault Mexico, ING Mexico
and the Federal District Government, all three partners of
this spectacular F1 showcase event, the ING Renault F1 Team
arrived in Mexico City ready to thrill the Mexican public.
The team kept its promise as Giancarlo Fisichella and Nelson
Piquet Jr put the R26 through its paces in front of a crowd
of 300,000 people!
Running along the Paseo de la Reforma, one of the city's
main avenues, and around the city's emblematic statue of the
Angel of Independence, the ING Renault F1 Team produce donuts,
burnouts and much more for the enthusiastic, motorsport-loving
Mexican public.
This was the team's first ever Roadshow event in Central
America, and it was judged a great success. The crowds were
the largest ever seen at a Roadshow event, while the atmosphere
was both friendly and approachable throughout.
"Renault and ING worked so hard to make this event happen
here in Mexico," commented Giancarlo Fisichella as he
greeted the crowds, "and I think we managed to put on
a cool show for the Mexican people today! The atmosphere was
just incredible, and it was a great pleasure to take part
in this event."
"We got a fantastic welcome here in Mexico," added
Nelson Piquet Jr. "We were determined to put on a good
show, and I think we managed that! There were so many people
lining the track and I hope they all enjoyed the event. I
certainly did!"
After an especially successful 2007 season, the ING Renault
F1 Team is now finalising an ambitious calendar for 2008.
