Local fans get F1 treat
Print Edition
ORGANIZERS of the Chinese Grand Prix are offering local fans a chance to sit behind the wheel of a Formula One car and drive on the Shanghai International Circuit in suburban Jiading District.
According to Shanghai Juss Event, four fans will be given the chance to sit in the cabin of an Arrows 2000 race car, which was designed by Mike Coughlan and can reach a top speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour. Those who have sat behind the wheels of Arrows 2000 include Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa and Dutch driver Jos Verstappen.
After undergoing professional training from European driving teaching company “Gentlemen Drivers & Partners Ltd”, the four chosen fans will be allowed to drive the race car on the circuit after the Chinese GP which falls on April 17.
The first of the four lucky ones was a local fan, surnamed Zhu, who won a go-kart race during a fans carnival held at the circuit yesterday. The other three spots will be assigned randomly to fans who take part in online Q&A activities held by the organizers. The Q&A activities are accessible through the Chinese GP’s official WeChat account.
