Regent Street to host A1 GP machines
07 April 2008
Lower Regent Street will look more like a motorsport grid than a busy London thoroughfare on 27 April as it hosts an event dedicated to the A1 GP World Cup of Motorsport.
The street will be closed to traffic and will host racing cars belonging to all 22 nations that take part in the A1 GP competition.
Available for free, the event will run from 11:00 and 17:00 and allow motorsport fans to get an up-close look at the impressive machines that take part in the World Cup of Motorsport.
The cars, which are mechanically identical in order to create a level playing field, boast a 3.4-litre engine capable of delivering 520 break horsepower.
There will also be two Ferrari 599 GTBs on show, which are used as safety cars at A1 GP events.
Visitors will be able to see highlights of previous A1 GP races on a giant screen set up at Waterloo Place, as well as live appearances by Formula One legends Emerson Fittipaldi and Alan Jones.
