World class electric violinist Linzi Stoppard performed at the British Grand Prix with her record breaking bandmate Ben Lee – they shone at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix Ball at the Royal Artillery Gardens in the center of London.
The Grand Prix Ball was bigger than ever as the six-acre Royal Artillery Gardens became the home of Formula 1 cars, drivers and stars for the motor sport event of the season ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Rev up your engines as the glamorous black tie event kicks off with the red carpet.
Walking alongside the stars of Formula 1, you heard the echo of engines as a signature F1 demonstration lights up the tarmac.
Guests mixed and mingled with our star-studded celebrity guest list over a champagne reception and three-course dinner. A silent auction ran the entire evening and dinner ended with a live auction of limited edition memorabilia, all in support of the Prince’s Trust.
The Grand Prix Ball was the highlight of Race Week London, the home of motor sport during the British Grand Prix.
Held during the day across six acres at the Royal Artillery Gardens, it was a chance not to be missed with the chance to get up close and personal with some of the world’s rarest F1 cars.
