A from saturday, 18 july and until 18 october, the exhibition “Magic Formula” is shown at the Caramulo Museum – which displays classic monoplaces in Formula 1 history and not only.
The show proposes an “immersive experience” dedicated to the 75 years of the queen category, also having “original artifacts of former emblematic pilots such as Alain Prost, Gilles Villeneuve, Juan Manuel Fangio or Niki Lauda, multimedia content and interactive experiences”.
When it comes to single places, who visits the distribution – which occupies two floors – you will be able to appreciate a model linked to Portugal: the Lotus 97T in which Ayrton Senna first won in Formula 1, in Portugal GP 1985 in the rain at Estoril.
But there will also be models such as Nigel Mansell's Williams FW14, the last single-place career of Ayrton Senna (Williams FW16) or the Ferrari F2005 with which Michael Schumacher did his penultimate time in service of the Maranello escuderia in 2005.
On the other hand, the Caramulo Museum will highlight the history of Portugal in Formula 1, so it will display in this exhibition the Jordan EJ15 that Tiago Monteiro led to the podium of the US GP 2005 and Pedro Lamy's Lotus 107B. Objects such as suits or helmets of the four Portuguese pilots who competed in the category may also be appreciated: Nicha Cabral, Pedro Matos Chaves, Pedro Lamy and Tiago Monteiro.
The show includes video projections and even engaging experiences such as driving simulators and interactive kiosks, as well as an installation dedicated to Ayrton Senna – “The Senna Experience”. There will also be complementary programming such as guided tours, educational activities and a movie night with movies linked to Formula 1.
