What is
VERVA
Street
Racing?
The idea of the VERVA Street Racing project is to
create a spectacular festival of cars in the heart of
the Polish capital, which combines the formula of
leading motor car races (e.g. F1, GP2, F3, Porsche
Supercup, GT1 and GT3) with an automotive
show (e.g. Stunt, Drift, NASCAR and Dragsters
exhibitions). The selection of teams participating in
VERVA Street Racing is not incidental and is aimed
at showing the variety of motor sports.
VERVA Street Racing is a one-day regular event dating back
to 2010, when the main sponsor of the project, PKN ORLEN,
decided to show to all motor sport fans the emotions they
could have experienced only in television before. In its
consecutive editions, the VERVA Street Racing is getting close
to such leading projects as e.g. Goodwood Festival of Speed,
Bavaria City Racing or Race of Champions.
Warsaw is visited by leading world racing and really teams,
legendary drivers and motorcyclists every year, making VERVA
Street Racing a highlight on the map of most important
automotive events, which you cannot miss.
Admissions are free, with tickets sold only for the Pit Party
and seats in the stands.

and millions TV viewers.

PKN ORLEN – title sponsor
PKN ORLEN is a leader of the oil sector and a leading producer
and distributor of refinery and petrochemical products in the
region. The core business of the concern is oil processing
into gasoline, diesel oil, fuel oil, aviation fuel, plastics and
petrochemicals.
The Company operates seven refining plants in Poland, the Czech
Republic and Lithuania, including the refining and petrochemical
complex in Płock, Poland, recognised as one of the state-of-the-art
plants of the sector in Europe.
PKN ORLEN has the largest chain of fuel stations in the Central
Europe (2 601 points) located in Poland, Germany, the Czech
Republic and Lithuania.
As of the end of 2010, Grupa ORLEN employed about
22,040 persons and its income on sales in 2010 amounted to
PLN 84 billion, i.e. about EUR 20 billion.
PKN ORLEN has been supporting the Polish motor sport on
the international arena for more than a decade. In 1999, the
ORLEN Team debuted in the Dakar Race and its members
have been in the lead of the competition ever since,
both in the motorcycle and car categories. In 2010, the
concern extended its involvement in motor sports,
by creating the first Polish racing team, VERVA Racing
Team, competing in the prestigious Porsche Supercup
competitions.
VERVA is a brand of high generation fuels; its
exclusive producer is PKN ORLEN.

Poland
– a European Leader
A very important element of the project is the social and economic
environment. Poland has been the most dynamically developing country
out of all new EU members.
Poland is distinguished primarily by the large internal market (the population of 38 million)
and a stable economic development (in terms of GNP, Poland is the 8th economy in Europe
and 21st globally). In 2009, i.e. during the deepest world recession, the Polish economy was
unique by recording positive growth of GNP (1.8% – 2009, 3.8% – 2010, 4% – 2011), and
developing at the fastest pace in Europe! Poland is also the largest market of the Central and
Eastern Europe and the sixth market on the continent.
It is noteworthy that in the report of Ernst & Young European Attractiveness Survey 2010,
Poland is most often indicated by managers of foreign companies as the potential location
for new investment projects in Europe.
In 2012, Poland will host the EURO2012 Cup together with Ukraine.
Poland has been a member of NATO since 1999 and of the European Union since 2004.

Warsaw is also
the automotive capital of Poland
Alike only few other motor sport events in the world, VERVA Street Racing takes place in the very centre
of one of the European capitals – Warsaw. As a result, the project takes advantage of the demographic
potential of the city (about 3 million inhabitants) and the fact that Warsaw is the political, economic
and media centre of Polish life.
The most important element of this location is a temporary
racing track located in the heart of the city, which is delineated
by narrow streets among tall buildings. Some of them date
back to the 19th century.
This is also the most historic and prestigious quarter of the
Warsaw metropolitan area, next to the Old City, entered in the
UNESCO global heritage list. The arena of VERVA Street Racing
is only a two-minute walk away from the main tourist attraction
of Warsaw, Krakowskie Przedmieście, which features the Royal
Castle and the Presidential Palace. The most representative
street of Warsaw (Nowy Świat) is also nearby, as well as the
most exclusive clubs and restaurants in the capital of Poland.
The largest Polish airport is situated in Warsaw, only 10 km from
the city centre. The location so close to the developments
makes it sometimes called the ‘Airport city’.

The capital of Poland has the best developed hotel network
with the highest quality service in Poland. Numerous
chains have their hotels in Warsaw, such as: Hilton, Hyatt,
InterContinental, Marriott, Radisson SAS, Sheraton, Sofitel
and Westin.

Loop-shaped track
VERVA Street Racing takes place on a temporary
street track, which runs among the buildings
located in the very centre of Warsaw. Several days
before the event the streets get closed for the city
traffic and are adapted to the race.
l Vic
Sofite
toria
The track is about 1200 m long and comprises a loop with
7 curves. The paddock is directly adjacent to the track and
they communicate very well.
in several places. Alike in professional urban racing tracks,
the track in Warsaw is separated with concrete rails that do
not tolerate even the smallest errors of drivers.
Despite its length, the track is demanding. The greatest
challenge for drivers is its width, which hinders overtaking
The surface is even and made of asphalt along the whole
length, but its grip is moderate due to the urban conditions.
In the coming years, an additional hard surface track
(cobbled road surface) is planned next to the present racing
track, to become a special show section for rally cars.
Circuit length: 1200 m
Number of turns: 7
Surface: asphalt
Infrastructure – a racing town
A fragment of the very city centre is converted into the VERVA Street Racing track. Obviously, the area
where the race takes place is not adapted to the organization of motor sport events on such a scale.
fot. Photosynteza.com / LIVE
Therefore, in addition to the construction of the motor track,
the following technical infrastructure necessary for the event
is installed:
8
• a power network (6.5 km long) and an IT network
• a television network
• a public address system tower (20) and large screens (70)
• mobile stands (4) for about 8 thousand spectators
• footbridges above the track (4)
• the stage structure directly above the start / finish
• mobile production offices (15)
• a paddock
• a catering zone (2)
• commercial zones
• VIP zones (2)
The construction of the infrastructure is a major logistic
challenge and continues for about 10 days non-stop.
It involves about 200 experts in different areas.
Safety comes first
Already since the first edition of VERVA Street
Racing the issues of safety, both of spectators and
drivers, have been of utmost importance for the
organisers of the event. A multi-level protection
system has been developed especially for VERVA
Street Racing.
Already since the first edition of VERVA Street Racing the issues
of safety, both of spectators and drivers, have been of utmost
importance for the organisers of the event. A multi-level
protection system has been developed especially for VERVA
Street Racing
The basic element that provides safety includes mobile
concrete barriers set up in crucial fragments of the track. More
than 700 such barriers are used to protect the competitors
and the public. An additional protection element are several
hundred tyres that shelter special crash columns located at the
edge of road as well as plastic boards filled with water.
The track and the spectators are constantly monitored and
protected on the event day by 700 qualified security officers.
The communication is digital with advanced systems, the same
as applied in the Formula 1 races.
The last safety element is the medical aid services of almost
60 physicians and paramedics and several dozen ambulances
and fire brigade trucks, which keep monitoring the site
of the event.

The area of the event is fenced with more than 6.5 km of various
barriers and fences. 4 special communication footbridges
are constructed above the track, to prevent spectators from
running across the car route.

VERVA Street Racing Programme
The scenario of VERVA Street Racing is aimed at getting most out of a single day of the event and at creating an exciting
and lively atmosphere. An important part of the programme is the Pit Party, i.e. visits to the machine park, as well as the
inter-disciplinary final race, which arouses most emotions. The sport content is divided into thematic blocks.

2011 VERVA STREET RACING – WARSAW
We were delighted to be asked to provide content for the second edition of the Verva Street Racing
event in Warsaw. This included Sir Stirling’s Porsche RS 61, a collection of classic Porsche racing
cars, including a Porsche 917 driven by David Piper and a Porsche 914GT/6 driven by Jay Kay and
facilitated the six Classic Team Lotus Formula 1 cars.
The organisation and logistical support provided prior to the event date was excellent with no
problems encountered with travel for the teams, the transport of the cars and documentation
required to allow the content supplied above to take part.
All the team members from the UK who took part, all of whom have attended many motoring events
around the world, were very impressed by the individuals who made up the Live team that ran the
event, given the size and location. The circuit lay out, branding, live TV broadcasts, safety,
marshals, event management, logistics, support staff, catering and hospitality all contributed to
create an event that can happily rival any of the established global motoring events, with the Verva
sponsor message clearly communicated.
Verva Street Racing also portrayed Warsaw, and indeed Poland, as an excellent tourist destination,
with the Polish people making us all feel very welcome.
We would all happily attend the next edition of the Verva Street Racing event and recommend the
event to fellow professionals in the motorsport and automotive industries.

Dear Bartek
Verva Street Racing
I wanted to thank you and your team for a great weekend. We all very much enjoyed ourselves,
and very much hope that our cars added something to the spectacle. Verva Street Racing is an
interesting concept but one that seems to work very well indeed. The crowd was enormous and
everyone that we talked to said that they were really enjoying it. We were also surprised by how
knowledgeable and well-informed people were about the historic cars. One man even had some
original period pictures of David Piper, which he wanted autographed.
Jay Key also asked me to pass on his thanks and application he really enjoyed the race and the
event.
Thank you again for all of your hard work and hospitality. For many of us it was our first trip to
Poland and I am sure that it won't be our last.
