Kiev roadshow

Another close experience to the F1, Ukraine's capital Kiev will host a F1 roadshow from Renault F1 Team. The event will take part in 21st of September, possibly through the Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square, RedBull Cross Fighters took place there) and the Kreshatik avenue, through the Podol area near the Dnieper or crossing any of the large bridges over the river approaching the downtown. Press release informs that Renault will bring there an older R27 of the test-team, and the drivers will be Romain Grosjean and Sakon Yamamoto.

The Ukranian country isn't yet being suspected to host a GP or build any circuit which could host international races in the future, but recently received the announcement of being cooperator with Poland for the Euro 2012. The interest of the citizens about F1 is medium (some know that Schumacher won 7 titles, was Ferrari driver and now "pensioner", others follow the races madly even with the difficulties to move abroad), now the popularity is rising with the close contact with Poland, they have their own hero, Robert Kubica.

Ukraine isn't an EU country yet, but visa to that country is free for most of the developed countries, a 90 day entry is allowed for touristic purposes (information can be found in Ukrainian consulates and embassies).

If somebody wishes to go there, he/she can contact with me and I’ll inform a little, I know well Kiev.
