(Reuters) - Formula One fans will be able to get a better flavour of the race-day experience with a virtual alternative to the 'Paddock Club' during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of a digital partnership with U.S. based Zoom Video Communications.
The real-world Paddock Club offers guests a vantage point over the team garages with a view of the start and finish line and into the pit lane. Also included is access to the backstage area with exclusive driver interviews and tours of the pit lane.
