F1 cars touch down at Kent Airport
26.04.08
Two Boeing 747 freighters, carrying single seat racing cars, touched down at Kent International Airport as the A1GP World Cup moved onto the UK. The Atlas Air aircraft were laden with more than 200 tonnes of racing cars and other motoring equipment including mobile workshops.
Kent Airport was chosen as the A1GP tour’s entry point into the UK, due to the airport’s excellent freight handling capability, and proximity to Brands Hatch, where the last race of the 2008 season, will take place on May 4.
The huge loads – containing 29 cars, including six spares for the 22 country teams competing in A1GP – left China bound for the airport, following the previous race in the A1GP series in Shanghai.
