Adam Khan gets first run in Formula One car

ING Renault F1 Team demonstration driver, Adam Khan, got his first taste of Formula 1 action on Sunday when he climbed aboard the R28 for a shakedown test at Paul Ricard in the South of France. The young British driver's day mainly compromised getting accustomed to the car and its systems,which he will use during the 2009 Roadshow Programme.

Adam Khan happily shared :"It was an awesome experience. The team did and excellent job of getting me comfortable and used to the all systems on the car. The power from the V8 engine was impressive, but these modern Formula 1 cars are so driveable that I quickly got up to speed and I now have some valuable experience under by belt. I’m now looking forward to my first demonstration run in Dubai in April.”

Colin Hale, Coordinator for Renault’s Roadshow activities said: “The programme focussed on getting Adam comfortable in the car and giving him some mileage behind the wheel. He quickly adapted to the car, worked well with the engineers and everything went smoothly. Overall it was a positive first day in the car.”
