Formula One will launch its first Fan Festival at the Spanish Grand Prix as its new owners attempt to improve the experience for spectators at races.
The F1 fan zone, which has existed for several years at circuits, has been revamped to include racing simulators, a 200-metre zip wire, pit stop challenges and a DJ. There will also be an opportunity to win Paddock Club passes, photo opportunities with F1 teams and a ride in a two-seater racing car at the circuit.
The Fan Festival is in line with promises made by F1's new owners to put fans first and should offer alternative entertainment away from the track.
