This weekend I visited a motorsports exhibition where a new racing series was being promoted. I thought I might share this with you

Here is some information I received:

Acceleration 2014 is a unique three-day event combining car and bike racing with a two day music festival.

Acceleration 2014 will be organised on ten European racetracks from the 25th of April (Autodrómo do Algarve, Portimão, Portugal)
until the 19th of October (Circuit of Assen, The Netherlands). Acceleration 2014 is an event for the whole family.

Training and qualifications are held on Friday and Saturday, races on Saturday and Sunday. On Friday evening the music festival
starts with 'CELEBRATE THE 80s & 90s with The Hoff', presented by David Hasselhoff and including a variety of famous international artists,
and ends on Saturday with a line-up of popular DJs.

All three days are a mix of racing, music, entertainment, and fair ground activities that make Acceleration 2014 into an event for the whole family, all at the racetrack.

During the exhibition they also had a demonstration of their 'Formula Acceleration 1' car. This is the former A1 GP car with a 550 Bhp Zytek V8.
I was allowed to place my GoPro camera on the car, here is the video:
