F1 Parade in London

[Spencifer_Murphy]

Did anyone else here go to the F1 Parade in London? I did and I thougth the event itself was fantastic but the organisiation of the people was very poor. That said I read somewhere that the organiseser where only expecting 25,000 people to turn up. But on the day over half a million people came to watch . I bet that didn't help matters.

Seeing the cars was great, but the noise...wow! The sound of an F1 car in the streets of London was absolutely Phenonimal. I have never heard anything quite like that before in my life. When the car starts it sound just like it did on TV...but when they accelerated or tried a burnout or doughnut the noise was indescribable. Absolutely amazing. Completly out of this world. I took some reasonably good quality video clips on my digital camera (about 30seconds long each) but no photos, otherwise I would have posted them here. Sorry. If anyone else went, what did you think???

Just saw it on the telly....could you post the list of cars that were there?

The cars were:

Ferrari - Luca badoer
Williams - Juan Pablo Montoya
Mclaren - David Coulthard
BAR - Jenson Button
Jaguar - Martin Brundle
Jordan - Nigel Mansell
Toyota - Christiano da Matta
Minardi - Zsolt Baumgartner (I THINK it was Zsolt...not entirely sure)

Also they had Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (seriously) and the FIA Safety Car and they had Martin Brundle driving the Jaguar E-Type used in the Austin Powers movies (Although I didn't see it - I'm not sure if he actually did drive it on the day in the end)

one last question....I had a discussion about the passenger F1 cars that were present!....I only saw the Minardi!

But 2 friends of mine say they saw a passenger Williams (which I supossed would be a F. BMW with the Williams colour skeem) and a Jordan!!!!!! but none of the 2 teams have passenger F1 cars!

It was Zsolt. The passenger's husband paid over 225,000 pounds for that seat.
