RAFT OF NEW EXHIBITIONS OPENS ACROSS THE GLOBE
The F1 theme is not only taking over the festivals (see above), it is hitting the museums, too, with a pair of major exhibitions opening in the UK.
Formula 1 driver Mike Wilds and Lord Montagu of Beaulieu recently opened the National Motor Museum’s ‘Icons of Formula 1’ display in Beaulieu, which, until November, will mark 75 years since the inaugural F1 World Drivers’ Championship. It includes nine cars from World Championship-winning teams such as BRM, Lotus, Williams and Ferrari, each representing a decade of technical and sporting development. Exhibits range from BRM V16 to Williams FW43 B-01 and there is also a state-of-the-art F1 simulator.
