Imola’s Media Event will be the presentation of the ‘Museo Checco Costa’ at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari di Imola.
The new museum which will contain a number of historic machines and artifacts connected to the racing world will open in 2014, and this special “preview” allows us to involve our riders in a Media Event which will also include authorities and ex-riders invited by Dr. Claudio Costa.
Our resident SBK Paddock Show host Michael Hill will get the event started with a brief event introduction followed by a Q&A with the attending rider. We will then proceed to the very first hall of the museum where a selection of bikes, a Ferrari and other items are displayed for a photo opportunity.
Where: Circuit Museum, Imola
When: Thursday 27 June, 2013 at 3.00pm
