The Formula 1® Barcelona Fan Festival has far exceeded expectations. The event, which aimed to make the Formula 1 World Championship available to all citizens, concluded yesterday after a week at full capacity. Nearly 120,000 people have been able to enjoy the many activities designed around F1® over the course of the week.
Last Saturday saw the kick-off of the Fan Village in Plaza Catalunya, a free space with a wide variety of F1 activities such as simulators, wind tunnel and pit stop recreations, a selfie area with drivers, a trophy and a giant F1 logo, among many others. The attendees have also been able to enjoy an Aston Martin and Fernando Alonso showcar, a real Red Bull single-seater, a Circuit showcar with a decoration inspired by Catalan modernism, a restaurant area, a stage with daily performances and much more. Throughout these days, 80,000 people have attended the Fan Village and have enjoyed all the activities free of charge.
On the other hand, last Wednesday’s Road Show also delighted fans with an unprecedented exhibition along Paseo de Gracia.
