THE SUMMARY OF THE 2011 EDITION

The audience that came to see the VERVA Street Racing watched among others following vehicles racing on a street circuit: Cross Country series, DTM, GT3, Formula 1 (historical models), Formula 3, NASCAR, Porsche Supercup, Rally and Supermoto models. The starting list was supplemented by bike stunters, FMX riders and drifters. Cars that participated in the demonstrative part near the high-performance cars were the historic Porsche models including Porsche 356 SL (1953), Porsche 917k (1969), Porsche 914/GT (1970) and Porsche 911 RSR (1973). The Mercedes-Benz and AMG have built a special zone to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the brand.

It took nearly two weeks to build a temporary street circuit for the VERVA Street Racing event along with the accompanying infrastructure, including among others mobile stands for several thousand spectators spread along the track, giant TV screens, sound system, stage (built over the track!), dining areas, areas for children and a paddock. What more, a digital communication system similar to the one used for instance during the Formula 1 races and the Olympics was installed around the track.



The event was reported in the largest nationwide commercial television that on the premises of the VERVA Street Racing event located 6 television vans (including satellite vans) and over 28 cameras around the entire route. There were also several 'live' entries during the day (also in prime time). The promoter received over 400 applications for press accreditation.

Street races and shows were preceded by Pit Party, i.e. visiting the paddock by the audience. The VERVA Street Racing event was completed with autograph session with the best drivers.  



The hosts during the event were the drivers of the VERVA Racing Team, i.e. the first Polish team competing at the prestigious Porsche Supercup races (Kuba Giermaziak, Stefan Rosina) and of the Dakar ORLEN Team (Krzysztof Holowczyc, Jacek Czachor, Kuba Przygonski and Marek Dabrowski).
 
 
Among the foreign drivers and special guests who appeared during the event were: Ben Collins "ex-STIG", Chris "CP" Pfeiffer, Clive Chapman (Classic Team Lotus), Cyril Despres (Red Bull KTM), David Piper, Hélder Rodrigues, Jay Kay (lead singer from Jamiroquai), Jörg Müller (BMW Motorsport), Marc Coma (MRW KTM), Ruben Faria (Red Bull KTM), Stéphane Peterhansel (X-raid).
