Ferrari had Marc Gene pilot the F2008 Formula 1 car through the streets of Doha, Qatar, as part of the Qatar Auto Show as 20,000 people looked on. The event, which was organized by Shell, had Gene clock over 300km/h down a 3km temporary circuit along Doha's sea front.
"It was a very interesting day: demonstrating a Formula 1 car in such a beautiful setting was really enjoyable for me. It’s great to bring our sport so close to the people, especially in a country that has never seen any F1 action and I am particularly grateful to the organisers of the event, for ensuring all the necessary safety precautions were in place as well as allowing the spectators to experience the spectacle in such an intense way,” said Gene.
