FORMULA ONE BROADCASTS CONTINUE AT STUDIO 35

(LIVE, MOVIE SCREEN PROJECTION OF SELECT 2007 RACES)

 

            The popular Studio 35 movie theater ( 3055 Indianola Ave. , Columbus , OH ) introduced live telecasts of the world-famous Formula One auto racing series with its presentation of the 2007 Grand Prix of Monaco the last Sunday in May. The series continues with the Hungarian Grand Prix, broadcast larger-than-life Sunday, Aug. 5. The coverage begins with the pre-race show at 7:30 am. followed by F1’s traditional and perilous standing start at 8 am. on the famous Hungaroring circuit.

            It was the track on which Fernando Alonso in 2003 became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. Ironically, the race marks a crucial point at which Alonso, also the youngest and reigning World Champion, must check the progress of teammate Lewis Hamilton, the youngest driver ever to lead the championship.   

            The Formula One series was established just over 50 years ago, formalizing the tradition of Grand Prix racing now more than 100 years old. The British Grand Prix run at Silverstone, previously an airfield, was the site in 1950 of the first ever World Championship race, won by Giuseppe Farina in an Alfa Romeo.

            F1 is said to compete with soccer for the title of the biggest sport in the world; some sources estimate as many as 500 million fans view each race. Run exclusively on challenging road courses by cars constantly refined with aerospace caliber technology, Formula One is truly the pinnacle of motor sport not to mention its most glamorous.  

            Admission for this special broadcast of the Hungarian Grand Prix is just $5. Breakfast items will be available and the bar will be open for the hardy. For more information, call (614) 261-1581 or go online to www.studio35.com.
