The celebration, organised by the council, and sponsored by local businesses, will recognise the extraordinary achievement of Red Bull Racing winning the Formula One Drivers’ Championship and Formula One Constructors’ Championship for the second successive season. 

Council Leader Andrew Geary said: “Our warm congratulations go out to the whole team at Tilbrook in Milton Keynes and specifically Sebastian Vettel as 2011 World Champion, Mark Webber and Team Principal Christian Horner.  Milton Keynes benefits enormously from having Red Bull Racing based here – it shines a massive spotlight on the city, bringing in tourism, investment and providing hundreds of jobs locally, ensuring that MK is firmly on the map”.

The event will include a demonstration of Red Bull Racing’s Formula One car, which will be in action along the full length of Midsummer Boulevard between Centre MK (Saxon Gate) and MK Station (Grafton Gate). 

Some city centre roads will be closed off to traffic as tens of thousands of well-wishers are expected to flood into the city centre to see their heroes. 

As well as having the star car in action, numerous attractions, exhibitions and demonstrations are being planned to highlight some of the event sponsors, and the excitement and technology behind Formula One.

Corporate Head of Economic Development Pam Gosal said: “We will be working very closely with our city centre partners and local businesses to realise the full economic benefit to Milton Keynes as this is an unforgettable event, and one worthy of Red Bull Team Racing’s fantastic success.”
