GL events : FRENCH FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX 2018 - LE CASTELLET

The French Formula 1 Grand Prix is back at the Paul Ricard Circuit after a ten-year absence. From 21 to 24 June, racing fans will be able to enjoy a great programme of exciting, fun events and activities, including autograph sessions with the drivers, free practice sessions during which the teams fine-tune their cars' settings, the drivers' parade around the track, and a great concert.

As a service provider to this event, further to the signing of a five-year agreement with the Circuit Paul Ricard and the 'Grand Prix de France - Le Castellet' Public Interest Group (the organiser of the event), GL events is in charge of setting up the grandstands laid out at various strategic points of the track.

Some 52,000 grandstand seats have been installed, including a 12,000-seat grandstand with covered VIP boxes on the upper level stretching 350 metres along the pit-lane straight (the location of the start and finish line). It is the longest grandstand ever set up by GL events in France.

This exceptional technical feat required more than a year of studies, involving the Group's expertise in various fields, such as engineering and geotechnics. The grandstand took two and a half months to assemble and involved significant resources, including more than 200 people and nearly 170 semi-trailers of equipment.

Several divisions of GL events were also in charge of various installations and services, including furniture, audiovisual services and signage. Our teams installed 5,000m² of reception structures for the general public, the central Renault stand (400m² of surface area and 8m high) located in the track's fan zone, as well as three VIP hospitality areas designed and built by the Group. In addition, the Profil agency will be providing reception and hospitality services throughout the event.

GL events has provided high-quality events services that match the status of this major event.
