Heat Of F1 In The City

BMW Sauber F1 Team brings Asia’s first Pit Lane Park experience to the city centre.

Malaysia will have the first in Asia to get up close and personal with Formula F1, when the BMW Sauber F1 bring the pit lane park experience to Kuala Lumpur during GP week.

The pit lane park – a traveling interactive experience designed to bring people closer to the world of the BMW Sauber F1 team – will offer visitors all aspects of the F1 that they would only normally see and hear from a distance.

Kuala Lumpur will be the first of five scheduled stops on it tours.

Located along Jalan Binjai, right next to the KLCC’s central park, the BMW Sauber F1 Pt Lane Park will be open from tomorrow to Sunday until house everything from a miniature race track, mini grandstands, an F1 training centre and garage, a display of BMW race car and much more.

Amongst the “stars” of the Pit Lane Park will be the racehorse of this year’s BMW Sauber F1 team, the F1.07. Providing audiences with the full spectrum of sound, speed and dynamics behind the world’s most state-of-the-art racing technology, the F1 car will alternate on-track throughout the day with a Formula BMW race car as will as stunt performances by BMW Motorrad, the motorcycle division of BMW.

Apart from viewing the on track action that will see drivers practice start, power down the strip and perform pit stops, spectators will also be able to participate in a series of interactive activities such as the public pit stop challenge and Q&A sessions with BMW Sauber F1 team mechanic and trainers.

In announcing the arrival of Asia’s first Pit Lane Park, Wolfgang Schlimme, managing director of BMW Malaysia said: “The Pit Lane Park experience offers people of glimpse into the precise world of Formula 1 by bringing to them an interactive experience which replicates genuine Grand Prix conditions, from performing pit lane stops, driving F1 simulators and even the chance to have their picture taken in full F1 racing garb.”

“BMW’s vision has always been to give people the chance to go through the entire experience of sheer perfection that is born from the precise harmony between talented people and state-of-the-art machinery. The Pit Lane Park will provide people with a clearer view, and allow them to partake in that vision,” add Schlimme.
