As part of its Roadshow program, ING Renault F1 Team is pleased to announce a new date in its 2009 calendar. It will take place in the north of Spain, in Oviedo, the hometown of Fernando Alonso, on Saturday, September 5, one week before the Italian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Fernando Alonso will be behind the wheel of the team’s 2008 single-seater, the R28, for an exceptional demonstration on a 1.8km track right in the heart of Oviedo. The Plaza de Am\u00e9rica and Calle del Conde de Toreno, one of the main thoroughfares of the city, will be part of this superb temporary circuit.<\/p>\n
More than 100,000 people are expected in Oviedo on September 5th to attend this Roadshow, which will offer an incredible show.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I am really very happy that the ING Renault F1 Team Roadshow is visiting Oviedo, my hometown. For me, it is always a pleasure to participate in this demonstration event; I have already done two in Spain. However, being behind the wheel of the R28 in the city where I was born will be an extraordinary opportunity and I am looking forward to it. It will also be an opportunity to thank the fans who have been supporting me for years and I really hope they will come in large numbers to enjoy the show \u00bb said Fernando Alonso about this Roadshow.<\/p>\n
Flavio Briatore, Director of the team with the diamond logo added: \u00ab Our Roadshows are always extremely popular events: they bring the sport closer to the public. We offer people the chance to get close to the cars, but also to the team and the drivers, personalities they almost never get to meet in the context of a Grand Prix. Fernando has always wanted to drive a Formula One car on the streets of the city where he grew up, and I am sure that this experience will be unforgettable both for him and for Oviedo. And, considering the popularity of Formula One in Spain, I think this Roadshow will be one of the most successful that our program has experienced so far. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
