How Franco Colapinto's historic road show will hit the city streets | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto is getting ready for a historic exhibition: this Sunday, April 26, he will race in Buenos Aires at the Formula 1 road show in the City. The Alpine driver is preparing for a special moment as he drives through the streets of Palermo.

After 14 years, the top category of world motorsport will return to the City with this street exhibition, in which the Pilar-born driver will become the first Argentine to drive an F1 car through the streets of Buenos Aires: he will make four runs on the Avenida Libertador track, between Bullrich and Casares.

The first lap in the Lotus E20 with a Renault V8 engine, decked out in Alpine Formula One Team colors, will be at 12:45 p.m. The circuit will run from Libertador and Sinclair to Casares and Ugarteche, and along a stretch of Avenida Sarmiento, between Figueroa Alcorta and Libertador.

The second will be at 2:30 p.m. with the Silver Arrow, the legendary car used by five-time Formula 1 world champion Juan Manuel Fangio. The final lap will start at 3:55 p.m., but this time as a ride on an open-top bus.

From 8:30 a.m., the public will be able to enter the designated areas. At Seeber and Sicilia squares, where camping is not allowed, there will be stages with giant screens so people can watch Franco’s laps from different spots. The screens will be set up at these strategic points:

▪️Libertador and Casares

▪️Libertador and Cavia

▪️Figueroa Alcorta and Sarmiento (Planetarium)

▪️Figueroa Alcorta and Salguero

▪️Sarmiento and Colombia

▪️Bullrich and Cerviño

▪️Figueroa Alcorta and Dorrego

Meanwhile, throughout the event there will be interviews with attendees, live DJs and, starting at 11 a.m., a performance by the City Symphony Orchestra. A full show for Formula 1’s return to Buenos Aires, with Colapinto as the star.
