Thierry Boutsen drives Ex-Nelson Piquet 1990 Benetton B190 - 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival

Описание: Thierry Boutsen drives Ex-Nelson Piquet 1990 Benetton B190 - 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

Boutsen driving the Benetton marks the first time an Australian Grand Prix winner from the Adelaide era will get behind the wheel of an Australian Grand Prix-winning car at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

Boutsen returns to Adelaide, the scene of one of his three Formula 1 Grand Prix wins. Boutsen raced in Formula 1 across 11 seasons from 1983 to 1993, including for Benetton in 1987 and 1988. He then spent two seasons with Williams in 1989 and 1990, where he won three races, including the rain-sodden Australian Grand Prix in 1989.

In the following year, Nelson Piquet won the 1990 Australian Grand Prix in the Benetton B190 Ford. The Benetton B190 was designed by Rory Byrne in collaboration with John Barnard, powered by a Ford V8 engine that produces 650 horsepower at 13,000 RPM.

Since retiring from Formula 1, Boutsen runs Boutsen Aviation, an aviation company which specialises in the management of corporate aircraft sales and acquisitions, and Boutsen Classic Cars, which he operates worldwide with his son Cedric Boutsen, selling classic road cars and race cars from their base in Monaco.
