The McLaren Mercedes MP4/20 F1 replica show car was on show in Malta last weekend courtesy of team sponsor Emirates Airline. The F1 show car was displayed at the Valletta Waterfront.

The visit also coincided with the 40th anniversary since the debut of the McLaren F1 team at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix.

Among those who went to see the car were numerous members of the McLaren F1 Club (Malta). They took time to admire the aerodynamic lines of the car before taking photographs.

"The visit of McLaren F1's show car marks a special occasion for us. This is the 40th anniversary since the founding of our favourite racing team," said Penelope Ciangura, chairperson of the McLaren F1 Club.

"Our hope of seeing for real the Team McLaren MP4/20 F1 show car in Malta has come true not only for our members but also for the numerous racing and motoring enthusiasts. Thanks to Emirates the dream of hundreds of fans of this sport has been realised."

One may obtain more details on the club by phoning 7940-8943 or 7980-2938 or by writing to McLaren F1 Club (Malta), PO Box 76, Paola (mclarenclub.malta@maltanet.net).
