Overview
- Alpine, which posted Thursday, showed the 2012 Lotus E20 being packed and sent to Buenos Aires for Colapinto’s street run on April 26.
- In response to demand, the city extended the circuit by about 900 meters along Avenida del Libertador to Casares and Ugarteche, with a new stretch on Avenida Sarmiento.
- Paid tickets sold out in under an hour, and organizers expect a near half‑million turnout with free viewing at Plaza Intendente Seeber and Plaza Sicilia.
- The program features two show runs, temporary pit structures and safety barriers, with live coverage planned on ESPN and Disney+.
- Colapinto will drive a V8‑powered Lotus once raced by Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean, a choice driven by F1 rules that bar current cars from non‑race events and one that will deliver a louder, old‑school sound.
