Formula 1® Rolex Australian Grand Prix steams into the Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges

Melbourne, Australia: Vineyards, towering forests and an iconic railway replaced the racetrack recently when a Swisse two-seater Formula 1® car took to the roads around the Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges region less than an hour east of Melbourne, Australia.

The Swisse two-seater Formula 1® car started its journey at the picturesque TarraWarra Estate winery in the Yarra Valley before moving on to the storybook villages of Belgrave and Gembrook in the Dandenong Ranges, directly crossing the path of the historic Puffing Billy Steam Railway.




The activity took place as a teaser to the 2014 Formula 1® Rolex Australian Grand Prix which takes place from 13-16 March in Melbourne. The action-packed event is held in the stunning surrounds of picturesque Albert Park, located 15 minutes from Melbourne’s city centre. Synonymous with glamour, sophistication, cutting edge technology and meticulous teamwork, the Formula 1® Rolex Australian Grand Prix offers an exhilarating extravaganza of on-track and off-track of activities for people of all ages to enjoy.




More than 300,000 fans are expected to flock to the Albert Park Circuit to see the world’s fastest cars, elite drivers and a dazzling array of local and international celebrities as they unite in Melbourne for four days of sizzling action. Off track entertainment at this year’s event includes a performance by Australian music industry icon Bernard Fanning and skateboarding sessions with the legendary Tony Hawk from the USA.
