Handbags and gladrags were for once not the only attraction drawing shoppers to the West Quay Shopping Centre this weekend as visitors came to catch a glimpse of the Renault F1 Team GP race car on display thanks to Renault dealer AutoPlanet.
The Formula 1 machine – as driven by Robert Kubica and Vitaly Petrov last season – was part of the Southampton dealership’s display and had parents and children alike stopping in their tracks to view the impressive car.
Alongside the 2010 Renault Formula 1 car, visitors also go to view popular models from the Renault road-range such as the Clio Renaultsport 200 which stars in Renault’s new Va Va Voom advertising campaign alongside Thierry Henry, Dita von Teese and Rihanna.
Ryan Tanner, aged 12, and nine-year-old brother Aaron (pictured) from Cadnam in the New Forest were among the many guests who had their picture taken with the Renault Formula 1 car.
David Scurry, General Manager at AutoPlanet on Second Avenue, added: “We were overwhelmed with the number of people who visited our display this weekend to view the impressive Renault Formula 1 car. People so rarely get the chance to see a car like this up close and for free and it certainly proved popular with the people of Southampton.
“The weekend also allowed us to showcase many of the favourite models from the Renault range as well as chat to customers outside of the showroom.”
