Retired Formula One drivers Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro, as well as many other great racing drivers will show their skills on the Brno circuit during the upcoming weekend. FIA World Touring Car Championship race is not the only interesting event – there will be races of FIA Formula Two, SEAT Eurocup and some other attractions.

Tickets cost CZK 350 (€15) or more; there is free entrance to Friday practise sessions.

The privately-owned racing venue is still facing financial problems and it is likely that there will be no WTCC race in 2011, so if you are a racing fan, don’t miss this opportunity.
