Bavaria City Racing Dublin timetable

With only days to go to the motoring extravaganza we have the all-important timetable of events.

There are just two days left until the Bavaria City Racing event takes to the streets of Dublin and if you are one of the expected 120,000 people who will be attending the predominantly free event you will probably need a timetable. Thankfully we have just the thing below.

For many, the chance to see the Vodafone McLaren F1 car of Jenson Button driven in anger is the major attraction and the former F1 World Champion will take to the track twice in his company car, with the first run scheduled for 13:20 and a second chance to hear the wail of his F1 car at 14:35. Jenson will also take to the track at 14:40 as part of a historical Mercedes Run. Button will not be the only F1 driver in attendance on the day as Caterham reserve driver Giedo van der Garde will take the wheel of the Caterham F1 car at 14;00, 15:25 and 16:30.

Commenting on the event, Gavin Collins, Event Director for Bavaria City Racing Dublin, said "There is something for everyone at Bavaria City Racing. Not only will the people of Ireland get to experience the sights, sounds and smells of Formula 1 they will also see a host of vehicles that you would never see on these shores. We have an action packed five hours of free fun for everyone in the city to enjoy."

Away from the Formula One, local eyes will be on World Superbike (WSB) rider Eugene Laverty as he takes his Aprilia WSB around Dublin - to be followed by British Touring Car driver Aron Smith. There will also be a heady mix of supercars, drift stars and rally monsters to keep you entertained on the day.
