Kimi Räikkönen will drive Red Bull's WRC car in downtown Helsinki, Finland on July 24. Sebastian Loeb will be there also, reports the news agency STT. The news paper Metro reported earlier that Räikkönen would be driving an F1 car, however this is not the case.
The car in question will be similar to the one Räikkönen drives in the WRC series. The Esplanade where the show drive will take place will be closed off for the duration of the show which will be about two hours.
- The city's strategy includes guide lines for the enlivenment of downtown Helsinki. This is a handy way to get some sparkle to inner Helsinki, comments Jarmo Nieminen, the chairman of the Public Works Department on Metro.
All the representatives did not quite agree with the need for such sparkle, as the permission for the show was decided by the chairman's vote after 4-4 tie.
Räikkönen drives a Citroën in private team in the WRC series. Red Bull is one of his sponsors.
