Two weeks before the start of the Mexican Grand Prix, the F1 Fan Zone CDMX was presented at the Campo Militar Marte, which motor sports fans can enjoy from October 27th to 29th.
"I am grateful that we have been allowed to hold this great event in this magnificent place that is Campo Marte, where many people do not have access. On October 27th, 28th, and 29th, the F1 Fan Zone will take place," said Paris Rodrigo, CEO of F1 Fan Zone Mexico.
One of the most attractive activities for the audience attending this event is the autograph signing of Red Bull team drivers, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.
"We will have autograph signing of Red Bull drivers, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, who are currently fighting for the championship and also in the constructors' standings. They are followed and loved by the Mexican audience. We will be announcing through our social media platforms, on Facebook, some other drivers who will come to support us in the autograph signing. We are still confirming with some teams for their support," Paris added.
On the other hand, this will be the first time there will be an exhibition of former world champion Ayrton Senna at the F1 Fan Zone Mexico.
Paris Rodrigo, CEO of F1 Fan Zone Mexico, revealed that the event will be divided into four different areas:
- Experience Zone called Fórmula 1 game zone, where there will be more than 22 activities (simulators, half cars, full motion, among others)

The Mexico City Grand Prix will take place from October 27th to 29th at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
MEXICAN ARMED FORCES EXHIBITION
Jesus Gabriel Lopez Gutierrez, Deputy Director General of Social Communication of the National Defense Secretariat, explained that in addition to the dynamics that the F1 Fan Zone will have, the audience attending Campo Militar Marte will be able to appreciate the various activities carried out by the men and women of the army during the DN-3 plan.
"The general public will have the opportunity to visit this military camp and at the same time appreciate the different activities carried out by both the Army and the Mexican Air Force through five stands. These activities include the use of the DN-3 plan by all personnel, both men and women of the Air Force. This stand will be juxtaposed with another important module of canine training. People can witness the activities of this important part of the DN-3 plan, which are the canine duos in search and rescue activities in the event of disasters," commented Colonel Lopez Gutierrez.
Another area that motor sports fans will be able to enjoy is "a module for military schools where young people will mainly have the opportunity to learn about the educational offerings provided through our institutions in high school and higher education levels," he said.
The Armed Forces zone "will exhibit all the equipment available to these elements of the country. There will be a Special Forces module for people to get to know their equipment, and they will have the opportunity to interact. The military police stand will showcase the importance of women and how their participation in this important Armed Forces has evolved," he added.
"At the same time, there will be a static exhibition with two aircraft, one fixed-wing and one rotary-wing, and there will be three vehicles available for children and young people to get closer, approach, and take pictures in a family-friendly and healthy environment," he concluded.
