After an absence
of a year, the Minardi F1x2 cars will be among the feature
attractions at the 29th Annual Bologna Motorshow, starting
this Sunday, December 5, at the Centro Fieristico Bologna.
The Faenza-based
team last week completed a mammoth
five day test at the Misano circuit, running a number of
promising new drivers, working on new car development, as
well as
giving rides in their two seat F1x2 cars.
In Bologna this
weekend, rather
than simply providing a static display, however, the team
and its drivers – on this occasion, popular Italian racers,
Matteo Bobbi and Gabriele Lancieri – will be giving fifty
passenger rides.
These will take
place
around the Motor Show’s specially constructed outdoor
circuit, located in Area 48 of the exhibition centre. The
F1x2 runs will take place over four successive days,
commencing on Sunday, with the lucky individuals nominated
by Minardi commercial and technical partners.

“The team is very pleased once again to have a presence at
the Bologna Motor Show and to be able to give a number of
guests what will undoubtedly be the ride of a lifetime in a
Minardi two-seater F1 car,” says Team Principal, Paul
Stoddart.
“The F1x2 programme has always been about bringing the sport
of Formula One closer to the fans, and after the Misano
event last week, where the team provided rides to 112
passengers, it is very appropriate to bring what has been
the most successful season ever for the Minardi two-seaters
to a conclusion at the high-profile Bologna Show, which
takes place close to the team’s Faenza factory.”
