Formula 1 will head to London for the first time this summer, in the form of its exhibition, at the ExCeL Centre in the east of the capital. The Formula 1 exhibition heads to the Big Smoke after stints in Madrid, Vienna and Toronto. It opens in August and will allow fans to get up close and personal to iconic F1 cars and exhibits.
Speaking to City A.M. curator Tim Harvey explained why F1 is heading to London.
“Britain is the home of motorsport, so it was natural that the show was always going to come to London – it was just a matter of when. With so many of the team’s headquarters based here and the rich history of British motorsport, it feels extra special. It’s also a home show for so many of us involved in the project, so it’s something we’ve all been very excited about.
“The ambition has always been to take the show to all corners of the world and we’ve been really pleased with how it’s been received in Madrid, Vienna and Toronto. But London really is set to be bigger and better than ever before. “Everywhere we go we want to celebrate and recognise the national heritage of each location, the legendary drivers and moments that will resonate with the local audience.
For London we have so much to work with. We are a nation that is obsessed with this amazing sport, its stories, drama and characters. We’ve been working hard to refine all of this and create something that really does justice to the rich heritage of British motorsport.
As we slowly start to.
