F1 Comes Back To London

BMW_Dude · 06-03-2006, 07:37 AM

If you're going to miss this year's British Grand Prix (shame on you) then all is not lost because BMW is staging a demonstration at London's Hyde Park.

The promotional event, put on by team sponsor Intel, sees former world champion Jacques Villeneuve drive along a closed-off 380-metre stretch of road on the Tuesday morning following the British Grand Prix.

The Canadian will be joined by BMW's world touring car champion Andy Priaulx, who will be taking an M6 for a spin.

F1 last came to London for the hugely popular Regent's Street parade in 2004.

More than half a million people were believed to have flocked to the capital to see several GP stars, joined by Nigel Mansell and ITV Sport's own Martin Brundle, race through the streets of London.
