Lotus F1 team is delighted to announce that it will join
forces with The Dark Knight Rises, the epic conclusion to Christopher
Nolan’s Dark Knight motion picture trilogy, this weekend at
Silverstone for the 2012 British Grand Prix (06 - 08 July).
To celebrate the
partnership both Lotus F1 Team cars - in addition to the team’s garage, driver
helmets and overalls - will feature the film’s iconic logo throughout the Grand
Prix weekend. The legendary Tumbler vehicle will also be performing an on-track
display with the Lotus F1 Team car and drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain
Grosjean.
The display took place on Thursday 5th July at
12pm on track at Silverstone (start/finish line) for Formula 1 accredited
media, followed by a brief Q&A and photo call with both drivers, including
the legendary motorcycle from the Dark Knight films, the Bat-Pod. For
the remainder of the weekend, the Tumbler will be on show at the Sky display
stand in the grounds of Silverstone.
Josh Berger, President and Managing Director, Warner Bros
Entertainment UK & Spain: “We are delighted to be working together with the
Lotus F1 Team. We wish them every success this weekend. F1 fans are often Dark
Knight fans too, so we are confident this partnership will be warmly received
around the world.”
Eric Boullier, Lotus F1 Team, Team Principal: “This season
we have been the dark horses in the championship fight, so this partnership
with The Dark Knight Rises is a fantastic match. Our car, the E20,
looks superb with the Batman branding and we are looking forward to seeing the
reaction of our numerous fans when it takes to the Silverstone circuit this
weekend. We are certainly hoping for an epic conclusion for The Dark
Knight Rises E20 in the Grand Prix.”
