Finnish Formula 1 race winner Valtteri Bottas will return to the Adelaide Motorsport Festival in 2024, attending the event on Sunday March 17.
Bottas will once again take part in on-track demonstrations and meet the fans in the event’s Grand Marquee, with the cars he will drive being confirmed at a later date.
Bottas says: “I loved the Adelaide Motorsport Festival last year, so I’m definitely coming back in March and I’ll be driving some really crazy cars, including some rally cars, legendary Aussie muscle cars and maybe some surprises. So I can’t wait to see you there.”
The Finn starred at the 2023 Adelaide Motorsport Festival, driving an Alfa Romeo GTV Group A touring car and the 2016 Bathurst 1000-winning Holden VF Commodore V8 Supercar. He also became an inaugural member of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival Ambassadors’ Club.
Bottas will head to Adelaide following the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the second round of the 2024 Formula 1 world championship, with the Adelaide Motorsport Festival held on March 16 and 17, the week before the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
