The streets of London echoed to the sounds of Formula One engines as the capital’s roads were closed for an amazing street demonstration. After years of speculation about a potential F1 street race, the financial heart of the capital was closed down prior to the British Grand Prix to host a demonstration event to showcase the spectacle of Formula One in London.
Lotus F1 Team Test and Development Driver Marco Sørensen drove his car through the roads of the Canary Wharf development to mark the start of the build-up to this year’s Race Week Festival in London. Race Week is a celebration of Formula One cars and all things fast giving fans an opportunity to get up close with a selection of fast cars.
Jonny Dodge, organiser of Race Week, said: “Today we created a Monaco-style street circuit in London to prove it could be done, we hope that we can bring the Grand Prix to London in future years.”
Lotus F1 Team driver Marco Sørensen said: “This has been such an amazing opportunity to drive around the streets of Canary Wharf. Of course, it would be incredible if there was a Grand Prix in London. It’s always special to drive a Formula 1 car and I appreciate the opportunity to do this at such an exclusive location.”
