Formula one comes to Europe
On the 25 June 2010, Formula 1 comes to Europe (TELEFÓNICA Grand prix of Europe - Valencia). This is perhaps the first opportunity for the masses to make a trip of it and see the racing action live.
The Grand Prix of Europe offers a new Monaco style atmosphere with the track utilizing some city streets and also part of the infrastructure around the new Americas Cup basin. Situated in Valencia's recently-revamped marina area, the track is 5.473 kilometres in length and boasts top speeds of over 300 km/h - and average speeds of 200 km/h. The layout of the innovative track is challenging too, with 25 turns (11 left and 14 right) to test the drivers to the maximum.
After deciding on a harbour-side location, the circuit's designers were keen to use the unique area to its full potential and for most of the lap the action rarely leaves the water's edge. Indeed, at one point the Formula One cars even cross over Valencia's canal, using a swing bridge which has been specially built between the north and the south marina.
This could be more than just a great event, as it is also a beautiful European destination and well worth a trip. With two practice sessions on the 25th, a third practice session and qualifying on the 26th and the race on Sunday 27th June a 4 day break would mean you caught all of the action.
