It has been announced that the Minardi F1X2 Team and Best Lap F1 Events have entered into a formal agreement, which will see the Valencia-based company act as exclusive agent for the F1X2 Team in the Spanish and Portuguese markets. The arrangement was revealed during a special media presentation on Monday evening at the stunning Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Valencia.

Best Lap F1 Events, which was formed last year by Enrique Leon, Carlos Molla and former Minardi driver, Marc Gene, plans to stage a series of F1X2 events in Spain and Portugal, and will look after all marketing, sales, organisational and operational aspects of the programmes within those countries. The arrangement takes effect immediately, with collaborative agreements already in place with the Valencia and Barcelona circuits.

"In Best Lap F1 Events, we have a team of professionals with a wide range of motorsport experience, and our aim is to make it possible for as many people as possible to experience the same sensations as those of us who are lucky enough to drive Formula One cars," comments Marc Gene. "We're certain that with this programme we will be able to give Formula One fans an absolutely unforgettable day."

Minardi F1x2 Team owner, Paul Stoddart, says, "Marc, Carlos and Enrique approached us last year regarding the possibility of setting up an exclusive arrangement to represent the two-seater programme in the Spanish and Portuguese markets. With their in-depth understanding of motorsport and undoubted business acumen, plus Marc's connections with Minardi, it just seemed like a natural fit between Best Lap F1 Events and the F1X2 Team. We're extremely pleased, and look forward to introducing new passengers to the thrill of Formula One performance that our unique fleet of eight two-seaters is able to offer."
