Gearing up to the new season
02/02/2010
Now into February, we only have just over 40 working days until our inaugural race of the season at Silverstone on 3-4 April. Whilst things all seem quiet on the Superleague Formula by Sonangol home front, behind the scenes is a very different scenario.
Much activity is going on to get everything into place on what is going to be an extremely hectic race season for Superleague Formula by Sonangol. Indeed with some months hosting up to 3 races there is going to be no time to draw breath for all involved.
We have some top circuits for this year, and we are thrilled to be starting off at Silverstone, without a doubt, a circuit whose name speaks for itself in terms of reputation and history. We will be making two stops in the UK this year, with Brands Hatch on 31st July/1st August, again a circuit who has a big name and is close to one of our UK teams, Tottenham Hotspurs. The race weekend will be out of the football season, so we hope to see many of the fans there cheering on their beloved team and maybe some of the players. As we all know, football players are renowned for their love of fast cars, and our cars are fast and loud!
Another new addition to the calendar is Assen in the Netherlands. Superleague Formula by Sonangol is taking over the A1 GP race date and hopes to thrill the crowds. The Dutch are avid motorsport fans with high expectations so the pressure is going to be on to give them a great show. Superleague Formula by Sonangol is all about reaching out to the fan and providing them not only with a great day of motor racing, but a really unique experience, where they get to go behind the scenes and see what really goes on in the garages, meet the drivers and obviously get as many photos as possible! Indeed Holland has had quite a taste of what Superleague Formula by Sonangol is, when PSV fans back prior to the launch of the series saw their car fly in over their heads for the official unveiling of the car!
So whilst the eternal rivals are battling it out on the football pitch in their national leagues as well as the European leagues, many of the Superleague Formula by Sonangol clubs have met on the pitch for the Champions League. Anderlecht RSC and Sporting both got eliminated in the play offs, followed by Atletico de Madrid, Liverpool FC and Rangers in the group stage. We now have 5 of our clubs: AC Milan, Porto, Olympiacos, Lyon and Sevilla all ready to play in the round of 16. So all eyes will be focused on the performance of the clubs, prior to them starting up their engines.
