Mar 18. 2016 11:20 AM
Baku City Circuit (BCC) is today sending its best wishes to the people of Azerbaijan for this year’s Novruz holiday and is inviting everyone to join the ‘Three-Months-To-Go’ celebrations - a series of entertainment activities taking place along Baku Boulevard - to mark the arrival of the 2016 FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE in Baku.
On March 19th, there will be exactly ‘Three-Months-To-Go’ until the 8th round of the 2016 FIA Formula One World Championship is hosted in Baku and the celebrations to mark this significant milestone happily coincide with the nationwide festivities taking place on the occasion of Novruz. In order to raise awareness among Baku residents and international visitors of the newest addition to the Formula 1 calendar, BCC will stage a series of entertainment activities, including an awesome ‘Formula 1 Zone’, in front of Baku’s Museum Centre on the city’s beautiful Boulevard.
Starting from 20th March, this area will be opened to visitors of all ages, where people will be entertained by a variety of different activations and also provided with useful information regarding the upcoming F1 race weekend in Baku.
Visitors attending the celebrations will be able to feel a glimpse of the excitement, energy and adrenaline rush that makes a Formula 1 race weekend so special. In particular, they will be able to do so by challenging themselves on the F1 simulators installed in the indoor entertainment zone. Visitors can also buy tickets for the 2016 FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE; get acquainted with the work of the marshals and volunteers, while little F1 fans will be able to have a fun time in the designated kids area.
The entertainment zone will be opened to the public from 10am to 10pm every day until the 2016 FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE.
In addition, a concert stage will be built next to the entertainment zone, where local pop-singers will perform every evening between March 20th and March 23rd, from 4pm to 10pm.
Moreover, on March 21st, between 8pm -10:30pm, a colourful 3D Formula 1 laser show will be projected onto the Baku Museum Centre.
To coincide with the aforementioned celebrations, BCC will also launch its brand new website this month. BCC’s new website will offer F1 fans new tools with which they can explore the Baku City Circuit, host of the 2016 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe, as well as enable them to learn about Azerbaijan’s rich history, culture, sightseeing landmarks, cuisine and especially the country’s famous hospitality.
A new interactive track guide will allow visitors to the website to get detailed information about the configuration of the newest street circuit in F1 as well as on each grandstand located along Baku City Circuit. An interactive game based on the actual configuration of the track will allow visitors to explore each corner of the circuit via detailed 3D views.
As such, F1 fans visiting the new BCC website will have a chance to experience the speed and excitement that awaits F1 drivers at the 2016 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe by participating in this adrenaline fuelled online driving challenge.
For those hoping to plan the entertainment aspect of their race weekend, the website will have a dedicated section providing them with detailed information on the Formula 1 Village and updates on the many entertainment activities, autograph sessions and concerts to be held during the race weekend.
Nigar Arpadarai, BCC’s Head of Marketing and Communications, invited everyone to attend the ‘Three-Months-To-Go’ celebrations in Baku Boulevard, commenting: "The preparations for the 2016 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe have entered a new phase and happily coincide with the Novruz festivities.
