WHAT IS GPlive?
GPlive is a unique celebration of the pinnacle of motor racing entertainment. It will bring the sound of iconic
Grand Prix racing cars of all eras, plus stars of the past, present and future to the Donington Park racing circuit, Derby, on the weekend of 18-20th May 2007.
“GPlive will be a stylish display that gives unprecedented access to the fastest cars and the greatest stars” said event originator Richard Morgan. “GPlive is designed to create opportunities for everyone to get close to the cars and the drivers at the heart of this great sport. More than anything, that’s what GPlive is all about.
“Over three days, visitors will enjoy a wide variety of motorsport and lifestyle activities.” Morgan promises. ”Donington is a vibrant venue with masses of history and we’ll combine that with a high octane celebration, featuring what will probably be the largest gathering of former Grand Prix cars and drivers in the world.”
Over its three days, the GPlive event will combine races and on track demonstrations from iconic cars and drivers who remain motor sport legends. In addition to a packed programme of on-track action, GPlive will feature activities and displays across the Donington venue.
These include: Polesitters – a static display of cherished grand prix cars; Silver Screen Racers, an (outdoor) “Autotorium” showing the very best in grand prix footage; Marque Paddocks devoted to Car Club displays; Wind & Wheels – an exhibition charting the progress of aerodynamics in grand prix design; Artemotive – an exhibition of the finest grand prix and motoring imagery, a Motorsport Mall; Grand Prix Panellists where a selection of drivers each day will be invited to answer questions from the public; the Drivers Sign On area - an area dedicated to autograph and book signing sessions; and the GIG zone – where you can test your skill as a grand prix driver, at a Grand Prix Interactive Gaming zone.
