This is not the first such idea, but the first time such a plan has been developed in detail. The customer was Santander Bank, the project is also supported by the head of Formula 1 Bernie Ecclestone - despite the fact that the London Grand Prix will cost his "enterprise" 35 million pounds.
The track is laid around two royal parks - St. James and Green, will pass by Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Parliament, as well as Trafalgar Square and the Thames embankment. The architects combined in their plan the necessary complexity of the route with the coverage of recognizable sights of London. They consulted with the British F1 world champions Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, who praised the project.
Temporary modular structures - garages, press and control pavilions, etc. - will be located on the Mall, which leads from Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square, between the trees growing on its sides. The stainless steel canopies of the guest pavilions will effectively reflect the greenery, buildings and the track itself. It is assumed that the income from three days of racing will be 100 million pounds, and the entire infrastructure will be assembled and disassembled in a week.
