Mol looking forward to showcase in Monaco

Spyker's Formula 1 director Michiel Mol is looking forward to the most famous F1 race on the calendar: the Monaco Grand Prix. Mol is not just looking forward to the event for it to be spectacular but also because Spyker will bring their road cars to race around the track in between sessions this weekend.

"I'm looking forward to it tremendously," Michiel Molsaid about the upcoming weekend. "Monaco is a special race for us, for our guests, and our partners. The race itself and the atmosphere is something I always enjoy. I've probably been there a dozen times, as spectator or as sponsor

Spyker road cars

"We'll have the road cars driving around on the track in between races, so that will be fun. It's an important event for us. I think we have to show our products to the world to get buyers, and in Monaco there are very many potential buyers!

"The GP weekend is more attractive than a motor show, because a motor show only shows a static cars, and nothing beats seeing a Spyker going up the hill under full power. If there had been no results, we wouldn't still be doing it. This year it's going to be even more successful because we can now combine the view of a Formula 1 car with our street cars."
