Hinwil, 8 July 2022 – Alfa Romeo #f1 Team ORLEN joined forces with Smartech Retail Group to unveil “The Track”, a 55 sqm concept store inside the iconic Selfridges department store in #london, UK, creating a ground-breaking destination dedicated to all Formula One fans and giving a glimpse into the future of experiential retail. The Track will remain in place and open for the next three months.
Created in partnership with The Memento Group, The Track is designed to offer an immersive experience for Formula One fans, as well as for those who are yet to discover the sport, uniquely blending both physical and digital experiences. As a world first, The Track features a 2022 show car – the Alfa Romeo #f1 Team ORLEN C42, driven by Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu – as the core of this innovative and interactive retail experience, alongside other unique Formula One memorabilia and collectibles.
The points of interest do not end here: for the first time, a current season show car is exclusively available for collectors to purchase, giving them the incredible opportunity to experience the car and own a piece of Formula One history. The Alfa Romeo #f1 Team ORLEN C42 is available for sale at The Track in Selfridges, #london – price on application.
