The Beach Zone, located behind the Podium and accessible to everyone with a ticket, will even have music with DJs, beach games, and a bar-terrace.

This year’s edition is also bringing something new to the table: the parternship between SportPesa and Racing Point. SportPesa is a growing global technology and entertainment company. Announced earlier this month, the partnership is truly exciting for the Canadian F1 universe. In fact, SportPesa Racing Point is the only Canadian team in the run for 2019. Our very own Lance Stroll will be one of two drivers behind the wheel of the unique pink F1 cars!
