F1 goes to Manchester

Formula 1 will be in Manchester in on the weekend of the British GP with the BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park at the Trafford Centre. The mobile F1 theme park will be open to all visitors, free of charge and offers unrivalled access to the sounds, power and dynamics of the world's most exhilarating and high-tech sport.

Situated in the car park of the Trafford Centre, the BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park will feature a state-of-the-art 110-metre asphalt track, including two turning circles to create exciting tyre-smoking theatrics. Throughout the three days, BMW drivers demonstrate their extraordinary command of both the Formula 1 and Formula BMW FB02 race cars.

Within the park, visitors will be invited to take part in a myriad of F1-themed interactive attractions, including driving simulators, a fuel stop, a Pit Stop Challenge and a Formula 1 Lab.
