Several roadshows planned in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region in May
On the sidelines of the upcoming French Grand Prix at the Paul Ricard circuit, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region will organize roadshows in various towns in collaboration with Renault.
The return of the French Grand Prix of Formula 1 at the Paul Ricard circuit is experienced as a true popular event for the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.
Its President, Renaud Muselier, together with the organizing GIP of the race and the manufacturer Renault, have decided to organize several roadshows in towns across the region: on May 1st in Châteaurenard, May 2nd in Miramas, May 4th in Aubagne, May 5th in Toulon, May 6th in Le Lavandou, May 8th in Saint-Raphaël, May 9th in Apt, and May 10th in Roquebillière.
During these demonstrations, which will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the public will be able to attend free Formula 1 demonstrations with a 2012 Renault single-seater, the E20, as well as with the sporty RS01 from the brand with the diamond. Driving simulators and other activities will also be organized.
Events intended to be popular for the President of the Region, Renaud Muselier: « This event, which we are carrying out under the impetus of Christian Estrosi, president of the Grand Prix de France de Formule 1, clearly reflects our desire to make this Grand Prix a popular event, overcoming the usual barriers to take place under the windows of the residents of our region. Free, popular, accessible, innovative, and unique in the world, these are the characteristics of this unparalleled roadshow »
An event is also expected to be held in Marseille on June 20 or 21, but no official confirmation has yet been made.
At the beginning of the month, the organizers of the Grand Prix confirmed the presence of DJ David Guetta for the closing concert that will take place after the Grand Prix.
