Formula1 Parties
What’s Going On 4/29 – 5/1
Apr 27th
Eurowerks Wednesday Night GTGs – Wednesday, April 27th
Eurowerks is one of the most anticipated European car shows in Minneapolis every summer attracting a wide range of euro cars new and old. The group recently kicked off a twice-monthly Wednesday night get together for euro loving car nuts to hang out, talk cars and show off that spot free shine (or lack thereof). It just might be a perfect event to take the MHCC Porsche 911 coupe, VW Thing, Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio, or well, you get the idea.
Purple Rain at the Uptown Theater –Friday, April 29th
Uptown was the first single off of Prince’s third album, Dirty Mind, and it’s also one place you can see his movie Purple Rain on the big screen this Friday night. It’s playing at the Uptown Theater at midnight and if you’re hoping to get a seat you should act fast. We’re sure it will sell out before you can say little red Corvette.
Tunes n’ Toons Brunch – Saturday, April 30th
Few things kick off a Sunday morning better than a good brunch. Throw in some classic cartoons, a soundtrack from local vinyl aficionados and you’ve got a recipe that will satiate generations of hungry bellies. Swing by the Turf Club beginning at 10am Saturday for its weekly Tunes n’ Toons Brunch.
Russian Grand Prix Viewing Event – Sunday, May 1st
This weekend we’re hosting a BYOB party – Bring Your Own Borscht. That’s right, this Sunday morning Formula 1 makes the trip to Sochi for the Russian Grand Prix. Fortunately, you don’t have to travel all the way across the world to enjoy it. Simply stop by our humble little “Dojo” beginning at 6:30am Sunday to watch the race from flag to flag.
Formla 1 2009
Feb 19th
The 2009 Formula 1 season promises to be an interesting season, no matter who your favorite team is, or what you think of the new rule changes… From the interesting new wings, a return to slicks, the implementation of the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS), and the absence of Honda….. well, at least it won’t be dull? Here’s a video Marty shared, from team Red Bull that highlights the rule changes for 2009:
Here’s a video the Williams team made explaining their KERS system:
And this video shows us that carbon fiber does indeed conduct electricity:
Let’s hope that isn’t a theme this year…
