The event aptly-named 'Slipstream 2.0' will be held this June 27, 2015 around BGC. Like in 2014, they're shutting down the streets around the Mind Museum so that Marlon can give Filipinos a taste of 'Formula 1'... except that he won't be driving an actual Formula 1 car. Instead, they'll be shipping in the same Formula Renault 3.5 borrowed from the Lotus F1 Junior Team.
If the schedule runs without a hitch, Marlon will be doing 3 demo runs throughout the day, on a shorter track layout we saw in 2014. The start line will still be along Rizal Drive, in front of the Mind Museum, but will only extend up to 5th avenue, no longer crossing into Bonifacio High Street.
Based on our calculation, that's 1.5 km a lap compared to the previous 2.3 km.
