Franco Colapinto’s historic road show through the city streets | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto is preparing for a historic exhibition: he will race in Buenos Aires at the Formula 1 road show in the city this Sunday, April 26. The Alpine driver is getting ready for a special moment in which he will drive 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 on 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, 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 begin at 3:55 p.m., but as a ride on an open-top bus.

Starting at 8:30 a.m., the public will be able to enter the designated areas. In 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

At the same time, throughout the event there will be interviews with the public, 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.
