Title: Brands Hatch launches Festival Italia event for 2016 - SUnday 14th August 2016
Post by: Justin McArdle on 07 March, 2016, 11:00:52 AM
    Brands Hatch will host a new Festival Italia event on Sunday 14 August, celebrating the emotion and beauty of one of Europe’s most exciting motoring nations with themed racing, demonstrations, displays and plenty of Tricolore-infused off-track attractions. Tickets are available now and under-13s go free – click here for more information or to book now.
Italy’s long racing heritage will be celebrated by an exciting and diverse race programme, which will include two races for the stunning machines in the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic series. The Prancing Horse is the Mediterranean nation’s most enduring icon, and it will be a wonderful sight to see a full field of Italian stallions galloping around the world-famous Brands Hatch Indy circuit. Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic will star beautiful cars from a manufacturer that captures the imagination like no other, with cars from the ‘70s through to the ‘90s appearing. Other racing highlights will be a special invitational race for classic Italian cars, and the BRSCC Alfa Romeo Championship.
Italy’s illustrious Grand Prix pedigree, through constructors such as Ferrari, Coloni, and Minardi, plus long-term sponsors such as Martini and Benetton, is almost unparalleled and will be showcased with special Formula One demonstration runs. Other cars of particular interest will take part in the on-track show too, including a Ferrari F40 and a Lancia Stratos.
The venue’s off-track areas will be transformed into a show of a different kind, with plenty to see and do for all of the family, including an ‘Italia in Piazza’ food market, a live music stage, Italian clothes stalls, wine tasting, and children’s activities. There will be plenty of car displays too, starring vehicles old and new from manufacturers including Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Fiat, Maserati, and many more.
