Formula 1 promo - London

Ben6899

Good morning!

Can anyone (I suppose particularly motorsport fans and my fellow Londoners) tell me anything about a Formula 1 promo that is taking place in London on 28th June? My boss has asked me to look into it; we're going to use it as the basis for a work social.

He went to the last promo - where a short dog leg circuit was set up around Piccadilly/Strand as he seems to recall - and is sure he saw something advertised on the TV after one of this season's Grand Prix for something in two week's time.

I can't find anything at all! And I certainly don't recall the last one; I was up North walking whippets and eating coal.

Thanks!

Is this what he was refering to? It's all I could find that is close...

"The Lotus F1 Team will Launch this years Grand Prix Ball at the Hurlingham Club in style, with a live running F1 car to start the proceedings.

The Grand Prix Ball, held in London on the Thursday prior to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone (5th July), will see the only live running car in London before the race.

Set in the grand surroundings of the Hurlingham’s 54 acres on the banks of the Thames, the Gala dinner will see the who’s who of the F1 world attending. Last years’ red carpet saw guests such as British F1 World Champion Damon Hill, alongside many other celebrity names.

A rare showcase of F1 cars old and new will also delight the guests upon arrival at the venue. The Lotus F1 Team car will also play the national anthem on its engine before dinner."

Thanks OB. I'll have a look and see what the craic is.

Lotus makes sense... I noticed last weekend that they're opening a new store in Piccadilly Circus.
