European Minardi F1 is delighted to invite all autoracing friends, and particularly its supporters, to the exceptional exhibition that will take place, on the 31th October 2001, in the International Circuit of "Santamonica" in Misano Adriatico (Rimini), Italy.

The F1 cars with the official drivers Fernando Alonso, Alex Yoong and Tarso Marques will be joined on track by European Minardi F3000 with its drivers David Saelens, Andrea Piccini and Christijan Albers and by Sighinolfi Autoraracing EUROF3000, driven by Alex Piccolo and Salvatore Tavano.

Another extraordinary attraction will be represented by six two-seater European Minardi F1x2 cars, with which all the drivers, plus Team boss Mr. Paul Stoddart, will make several guests feel the thrill of a Formula One drive.

During the day, fans will have the possibility to visit the Paddock, the pit-lane, the terrace, the stands and the circuit's exhibition room. It's a unique opportunity to get in touch with mechanics, technicians and drivers of various teams, in order to appreciate the overall aspects of their activities.

The admission to the event is simple: there's no ticket, you just have to wear the official European Minardi cap, purchasable on-line at www.minardi.it or, at special price, at the entrance of the circuit.
This may give you the opportunity to run some laps on the two-seaters cars! Minardi staff will choose, on the basis of some games and standards explained in that occasion, the lucky people who can live this exciting  and unforgettable experience.
