Sunbeams at Australian F1 GP

beamertwo · Mar 2, 2012

I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere in the forum yet, but Sunbeam has been selected as the Marque to carry the drivers on their "display" lap at this year's Australian Formula One Grand Prix. I believe there will be both Alpines and Tigers carrying the drivers - some wonderful public exposure for our favourite cars! I know I will be tuning in early with the recorder going to catch it all.

If anyone gets any video of this, youtube it if possible.

Grand Prix Parade

According to this website, the parade is Sunday at 11:00 a.m. (check time zone to be sure) I don't know if the parade will be carried on TV or not, sbut I hope at least some of it will be shown during pauses in the race.

Sadly the channel ten/ONE comentators do not even mention the sunbeams.. .much to the dissapointment of the clubs.

The trackside coverage at the evnt did and also had more/closer shots of the cars as they went round.. but i doubt that is available.
