This Saturday Team McLaren Mercedes driver, Juan Pablo Montoya will take part in an event for Mobil 1 at the “Autódromo de Tocancipá” in Colombia in front of thousands of fans and Mobil 1 guests. The event follows a promotion run by Mobil 1 in Colombia.

Customers purchasing one litre bottles of special edition Mobil 1 lubricant featuring Juan Pablo’s image were automatically invited to attend the event. As well as speaking to the fans about the 2005 Formula One season and his preparations for 2006, Juan Pablo will also treat some of Mobil 1’s VIP guests and fans to a passenger ride around the circuit in a Mercedes-Benz AMG car.

Later Juan Pablo will also play video games with a group of children who will compete head-to head against the driver for the opportunity to win some prizes.

Juan Pablo started his racing career with Mobil 1 as one of his sponsors, and now that he is a Team McLaren Mercedes driver, he has been reunited with them once again. Mobil 1 has been a Technology Partner to Team McLaren Mercedes, for the last 11 years and has now become widely recognised within the industry as one of the world’s most advanced engine oils.
