Jerusalem, 7 October – Today marked the end of the second running of the Jerusalem Formula Road Show, an event which featured an appearance from Scuderia Ferrari and Giancarlo Fisichella, who put on a show against the unique backdrop of Jerusalem, one of the oldest cities in the world.

The Scuderia was invited by Ferrari sponsor Kaspersky Lab and ran an F60, the same car that Fisichella actually raced in the second part of the 2009 season, on a circuit that ran around the walls of the old city.

Once again this year, the Jerusalem Formula Road Show was a great success, with a crowd of 50,000 lining the track yesterday and today. The audience was very excited at seeing a Formula 1 car run and the spectators were amazed to see Giancarlo pull off burn-outs before accelerating flat out in the F60. For many of the crowd, this was their first taste of Formula 1, getting to see the action in this Street demo from even closer up than at the race tracks used for the world championship. As usual, for those seeing a Ferrari Formula 1 car for the first time, one aspect stands out more than any other and that’s the noise from the engine, in this case the legendary 056 V8 and its beautiful ear-splitting roar, a synonym for its power, speed and the passion and challenge of racing.
