Historic Formula 1 Ferraris in Zolder
Next week-end, May 3-5, the DTM will be returning to Zolder for the first time in eight years. There, the DTM and its partner series, the Formula BMW ADAC championship, the ADAC VW Lupo Cup and the Porsche Carrera Cup will be providing fascinating motorsport – and an attractive support package.
The F642 of Jean Alesi 1991
Part of the event schedule are
demonstration laps with the legendary Opel Calibra V6, the ITC-title winning car of 1996 (Manuel Reuter), the Jägermeister Opel Omega as well as Formula 1 Ferraris. Moreover, breath- taking powerslides with historic rally cars, such as the Opel Ascona 400, can be seen. As always, visitors will have the chance to win a passenger ride in the “hot seat” of an original DTM race car, converted to a race taxi – really a unique affair.
In Zolder, Jean Alesi will have a special reunion. Taking part in the Ferrari corso is the very Ferrari F642, with which the French driver raced in Formula 1 in 1991. Apart from the performance of approx. 600 bhp and the brutally roaring V12-engine, another special feature of this car is the unique bottle-shaped form of the chassis.
Next to the F642, two cars will be present that were used by Michael Schumacher in Formula 1 in 1997 and 1998 respectively. In these years, the reigning world champion completed valuable development work for the traditional Italian racing team and laid the basis for his world championship titles in 2000 and 2001.
The Formula 1 cars can be seen on the race track on Saturday (14.55-15.30) and on Sunday during the pit-walk (approx. 12.00). For the rest of the week- end, the Ferraris are on display in the paddock.
