Scores of Europe’s leading entrepreneurs and businessmen, whose passion is
high performance cars, will be taking to the F1 track in Montmeló in
top-of-the-range of sports cars including Ferraris, Vipers, Porsches, Rolls
Royces and Mercedes. Barcelona’s Superyachts will provide the backdrop for
the press breakfast which will be held at the new Marina Port Vell on Sunday
13th September, followed by a car convoy around the city`s most iconic sites
where drivers can showcase their vehicles.
The finale of the 5-day event takes place at Barcelona’s latest glitzy restaurant
and bar One Ocean Club, hosted by lead sponsors Lucas Fox International
Properties and attended by some of the city’s top movers & shakers.
LUCAS FOX PRESENTS THE WILECO BARCELONA BIG BANG
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
was built in 1991 and began hosting
the Spanish Grand Prix that same
year. It also plays host to the Moto
GP. With long straights and a variety
of corners, the track is seen as an
all-rounder circuit. The circuit has
been the site of some memorable
moments. In 1991, Ayrton Senna
and Nigel Mansell went down the
entire front straight side-by-side
while dueling for second place,
with Mansell eventually taking the
race itself. In 1994 Michael
Schumacher finished in second
place despite driving over half the
race with only fi�h gear. In 1996,
Schumacher took his first win as a
Ferrari driver, a�er a dominant
performance during a torrential
rainstorm. In 2006 Fernando
Alonso became the first Spanish
Formula One driver to win at his
home country's track.
First opened in 2007, this is a
beautiful racetrack on the top of a
hill, not far from the town of Alcarrás,
about 12 km from Lleida. The
racetrack measures 3743m with a
800m straight, 10 le� hand corners,
4 right hand corners and 30 pit
boxes. It was built on a hillside, so
the track leads down the hill first and
then back up to the finish line which
is the highest point of the track. The
biggest challenge is a fast downhill
double le� turn.

Constantly re-inventing itself, it attracts a chic, cosmopolitan crowd thanks to its enviable ‘city and surf’ lifestyle, superb year-round climate, award-winning gastronomy and more recently its low property prices. Since the Olympics in 1992 it has become one of the top European city destinations and continually tops ‘quality of life’ polls. In recent years, Barcelona has gained a reputation as a growing hub for business, design, creativity and technology.

Barcelona has been labeled one of the worldʼs most exciting ʻurban resortsʼ and continues to be one of Europeʼs most vibrant and progressive cities
Barcelona will welcome some of the worldʼs most exciting Supercars this autumn, when the bi-annual Wileco ʻRace for Funʼ arrives with a bang in the Catalan capital.
In December 2014 the newly revamped Port Vell Marina saw the inauguration of the sleek cube – OneOcean Club – a private club and restaurant and playground to the elite. Designed by SCOB architects and the well-known Barcelona-based interior design studio El Equipo Creativo, the idea behind this establishment was that it be a place where the city’s most affluent crowd could mingle with the owners of super yachts staying at the marina. Dishes have a fun, creative edge where deep blues and sumptuous greens recall the Mediterranean which is practically lapping at the front door.
The ultra plush Hotel W by renowned architect Ricardo Bofill has become a symbol of Barceloneta beachfront and synonymous with style. Everything, from its 473 guest rooms and suites to the glamorous sun deck and pool, has been impeccably designed to elevate you from the city below in a pristine oasis of luxury with spectacular panoramic views of the sea and city below.Barcelona’s Gothic quarter are a mere stroll from the accommodation, but with all of the gastronomic and social options available at the hotel, it will be a wonder if you can prise yourself away.
