EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Formula 1 fans and automotive enthusiasts got an up-close look at a Cadillac F1 race car during a one-day public viewing event at Bravo Cadillac on Thursday.
The complimentary event was held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the dealership, located at 6555 Montana Ave.
It featured the Cadillac F1 race car, exotic-car displays, food and drink vendors and live music from DJ Johnny Kage.
Bravo Auto Group CEO and founder Raymond Palacios said the event gave the community a rare opportunity to experience Formula 1 racing in person.
We are excited to host this once-in-a-lifetime complimentary event for our community,” Palacios said. “F1 is a world-class sport with a tremendous following, and we couldn’t be happier to make this experience possible for our region.
The event came as Cadillac built anticipation for its first year in Formula 1 with drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio “Checo” Perez.
Martin Rocha, Bravo Auto Group’s marketing director, said seeing the race car in person created a unique experience for local fans.
“It’s not every day that you get a chance to see an F1 car up close and we want to make this as memorable as possible for everyone,” Rocha said.
