From the storied streets of Monaco to the beating heart of Barcelona. We're teaming up with our Official Lubricant Partner, Valvoline, to bring fans closer to the team and the sport in the build-up to the Spanish Grand Prix with a pop-up garage experience and pitstop challenge in Plaça de Catalunya.
We're in the midst of a pulsating European triple-header. Having already taken in iconic Imola and glamorous Monte-Carlo, up next we're making the short trip to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix.
And, for those in the Catalan capital from Saturday 24 May through to Saturday 31 May, you can feel the intensity of an F1 pitstop without even having to set foot inside the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Here's what's happening.
Where
Head to the F1 Fan Village, located at the Plaça de Catalunya, and you'll find a curated Aston Martin Aramco garage experience, buzzing with the kind of energy usually found at the track, as we continue to bring the sport to you, our fans.
This is your moment. Test your pitstop skills in our pop-up garage.
Have you got what it takes to be an F1 mechanic? Could you change a tyre in a matter of seconds? Together with our partner Valvoline, we're giving you the chance to find out.
Bring your friends and take on the clock: change tyres, operate a wheel gun, and race against time just like the Aston Martin Aramco pit crew do.
Experience the pressure, speed, and teamwork of a live F1 garage where every second counts.
"We're proud and grateful for our passionate Spanish fanbase and committed to giving them more unforgettable I / AM experiences like this," says Aston Martin Aramco Chief Marketing Officer Rob Bloom.
"This one shines a light on the unsung heroes of our team: the mechanics who travel the world and perform under immense pressure. Together with Valvoline, trusted by mechanics for decades, we're bringing fans closer to the sport, and to each other, inside the heart of the Aston Martin Aramco garage."
