Monaco aan de Maas (Monaco at the Maas) is a Formula One demonstration and a parade of international racecars and racing drivers, held on the streets of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In 2006 the event was renamed to Bavaria City Racing, also sometimes referred to as Bavaria City Racing Festival. ==First edition - Monaco aan de Maas 2005== On 7 August 2005, the first edition of Monaco aan de Maas saw top Dutch racing drivers from classes as Formula One, Le Mans and the Paris-Dakar rally, such as Formula One drivers Christijan Albers and Robert Doornbos, who comes from Rotterdam. The Dutch Chinese driver Ho-Pin Tung had to retire after a few minutes due to problems on his car. In the centre of Rotterdam, the track found its way along the ''Mariniersweg'', the ''Blaak'', the ''Coolsingel'' and the ''Hofplein''. Though it was not possible to have a real race, it was a great opportunity to show the cars to the public. Access to the event was mainly free. Only for the stands at the Coolsingel, and entrance to the paddock and the VIP-village, a fee was required. The first edition was a big success. While the founders of the event, Robert Heilbron and Herman Vaanholt, expected 300,000 visitors, half a million race fans found their way to this unique event. The Rotterdam-Rijnmond police arrested two male and one female suspect this day, who had sent a bomb threat by e-mail. Though the police had searched the centre for bombs before the event, none were found. In December 2005, the suspects were sentenced to 13 days in jail. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monaco aan de Maas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
