Adam Khan Gets His First Taste Of The R28

ING Renault F1 Team demonstration driver, Adam Khan, got his first taste of Formula 1 action on Sunday when he climbed aboard the R28 for a shakedown test at Paul Ricard in the South of France.

Adam spent the day getting acclimatised to the car that he will demonstrate throughout the year at city and circuit demonstrations as part of the team's 2009 Roadshow programme.

"It was an awesome experience," enthused Adam as he climbed from the cockpit. "The team did and excellent job of getting me comfortable and used to the all systems on the car. The power from the V8 engine was impressive, but these modern Formula 1 cars are so driveable that I quickly got up to speed and I now have some valuable experience under by belt. I'm now looking forward to my first demonstration run in Dubai in April."

Colin, Hale, the Coordinator for Renault's Roadshow activities added: "The programme focussed on getting Adam comfortable in the car and giving him some mileage behind the wheel. He quickly adapted to the car, worked well with the engineers and everything went smoothly. Overall it was a positive first day in the car."

Adam will be back in the car on the 11th of April when the ING Renault F1 Team Roadshow kicks off its 2009 campaign with a trip to Dubai for a demonstration on the streets of the city.
