The fanzone will give petrolheads in the capital the chance to experience the excitement of the British Grand Prix, which is taking place at Silverstone over the same weekend.

The races will be broadcast live on outdoor screens, while guests immerse themselves in the world of motor racing. Activities at the family event include state-of-the-art F1 driving simulators, a pit-stop challenge, a show of iconic cars, a photoset featuring an F1 podium and trophy and a chill-out zone complete with a beer garden and live music.

Fans will also get the chance to ride gunshot with an F1 driver around the track and experience what it is like to perform impressive driving stunts. Professional drivers will also be on hand to sign autographs and chat with car enthusiasts.

Carlo Boutagy, founder of the F1 Fanzone, said: "F1 Fanzone is all about bringing Formula One out of the paddock and taking it directly to the people. Now anyone in London will be able to share in the excitement of the British Grand Prix."

Kevin Chapman, head of offices at Lend Lease, owner of the International Quarter, added: "We are pleased to welcome the F1 Fanzone to The International Quarter in what will be a stand-out event for Londoners and visitors to the park.

"Set amongst the world-class Olympic facilities, The International Quarter is to become London’s most exciting new workplace destination and it is a great opportunity to be able to use the site during development stages for events such as this."
