Franco Colapinto on Buenos Aires exhibition: «A dream come true» | OneFootball

The driver from Pilar expressed his excitement for the show he will put on in Palermo with a Formula 1 car: “It’s a chance to bring them a show and let them see up close what an F1 can do.”

Franco Colapinto will make Formula 1 history with an exhibition on the streets of Buenos Aires on April 26. Ahead of the show on the streets of Palermo, the Pilar native did not hide his happiness and eagerness for the day to arrive.

“It’s a dream come true to be able to bring a Formula 1 car to my country,” he said in an interview with the official “F1” website. In another part, he admitted: “I’m going to put on a show I’ve been wanting to do.”

“It’s very difficult for all Argentinians to go to Europe. It’s a chance to bring them a show and let them see up close what an F1 can do,” he added, without giving too many details about what he will do in the exhibition.

Among the Argentine’s hopes, he wants everything to go perfectly: “Very grateful to the people who made it possible, and hopefully it will be a wonderful day for all Argentinians, for us to enjoy it and for it to go down in history.”

This is what Colapinto’s exhibition in Buenos Aires will be like

The Argentine driver will take to the track on April 26 on a 3-kilometer street circuit set up between Libertador and Sarmiento avenues. Ticket sales have very limited availability left, and due to high demand it was decided to “extend” the route. It will be the first time in 14 years that a Formula 1 car has run in the City of Buenos Aires.

Franco will drive the 2012 Formula 1 E20 single-seater, powered by a Renault V8 engine, with the full branding of the BWT Alpine Formula One Team. It is worth noting that at these events, under “F1” regulations, the current cars of the drivers cannot be used; instead, previous editions must be used.

In the process, Franco will become the first Argentine to drive a Formula 1 car on the streets of Buenos Aires, marking a unique moment for national motorsport and for the enjoyment of Argentina’s passionate fans.

The event places the City of Buenos Aires on the global map of experiences linked to Formula 1, amid the renovation work at the Autódromo to host the MotoGP and, in the years ahead, the “top category.”

The announcement of the “Franco Colapinto Road Show Buenos Aires 2026” revealed that there will be one open and free section and others available for purchase exclusively, including Fan Zone, Grandstands, and Hospitality with differentiated access and unique views of the track.

The Fan Zone will feature entertainment options, brand activations, and interactive spaces. The Hospitality area will also offer Garage Tours with access to the pits.
