The F60 shows up in South Africa

The F60 has arrived in Soccer City, prior to Saturday's first street demo of 2014 for Scuderia Ferrari.

There is a buzz of expectation in Johannesburg around the event organised by Shell to launch the new V-Power Nitro+ fuel in the rainbow nation. The event will take place in an area opposite the stadium that hosted the football World Cup final in 2010. The highlight will be a demonstration run by Marc Gene, at the wheel of the car that the Scuderia used in the Formula 1 World Championship in 2009.

The F1 Clienti department crew arrived in South Africa this morning and immediately went to check out the temporary circuit prepared by the organisers, which is just under one and a half kilometres long and to prepare the area that will serve as the pits. Gene arrives in Johannesburg tomorrow morning and the Spanish test driver's programme also involves a visit to the Nelson Mandela Museum in Soweto itself.
