F1: Buenos Aires receives the exhibition with the history of the category
The Fairground of the Argentine Capital will have a sample with the past, present and future of the World Cup: from Fangio’s memories, through Senna, Colapinto and to the Haas burned on Grosjean.
The image impacts. The memory of that 2020 Sakhir GP quickly arises. In case there is any dismembered, a screen that is in the same atmosphere shows the video of the terrible accident that Romain Grosjean lived in BARÉIN, with the flames wrapping his haas. The Frenchman left after being 27 seconds in the fire. The remains of the VF-20 is one of the many attractions that can be visited and enjoyed in the Buenos Aires exhibition of Formula 1, which will begin this Saturday 22 and will runin principle, until June 1 at the Fairground of the capital of Argentina.
A McLaren from Ayrton Senna from 1987, a Williams of 1981, the Maserati with which Juan Manuel Fangio made history in 1957, a 2020 HAAS (Enterito, not the Grosjean) will receive the spectators who visit the traveling exhibition of F1, which will be every day from 12 to 20 in La Rural de Palermo (tickets start at $ 38,000).
A huge collection of helmets of all time, a wing of Mercedes, an engine of the silver arrows, clothing of different pilots (Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansel), a corner for Ayrton Senna, a magulled helmet by Juan Manuel Fangio… Hundreds of memories, with a sector dedicated to the deceased pilots in the race. There are also elements of Franco Colapinto: an diver he used in Williams, near trophies and clothes of his karting time. Simulators and interactive games (there is a speed meter for an alleged race start after the traffic light is off), they complete the experience.
The event is organized by the Fénix Entertainment Group company, The same one that works together with the OSD company of Orlando Terranova and Dale Play by Federico Lauria in the project to remove the autodrome of Buenos Aires and are in contact with Liberty Media to try to make the F1 reach Argentina. “If this is the first step for the arrival of the F1? It is the second, the first one already happened,” Sebastián Bulgheroni, Chief Commercial Global Office of the company to AM850 confessed during the presentation event for guests and press that was held from the exhibition. Of course, the first was the sending of the autodrome project to Liberty Media, as this media has already published.
Buenos Aires is the fifth city to receive the exhibition of F1 after Madrid, Vienna, London and Toronto. There are two exhibitions, a Europe and the one that arrived in Argentina, after passing through Toronto. Fenix Entertainment Group bought the license from the sample to Liberty Media for two years to exploit it in South and Central America. It was 20 months of negotiation (it all started in May 2023) until it finally closed. “It was long before the emergence of collapint,” said Bulgheroni. Of course, the nine races ran by the Argentine with Williams in 2024, plus his pass to Alpine, aroused absolute madness for the F1 in the country and that, surely, will be important for the sale of tickets. In fact, initially the headquarters were going to be in Technopolis, but it was modified to the center of Buenos Aires by the large number of people who were interested and thus improve the possibility of transfer for the public.
In principle, the exhibition will be until June 1, although Bulgheroni did not rule out AM850.com the possibility of spreading whether success is very strong. Something is clear: in October the exhibition will be in Brazil. “We are still negotiating the city. It could be in two places,” said the Pope of Fenix. San Pablo and Rio de Janeiro Pican in Punta.
