Graham Rahal has thrilled fans at this week's America's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas with a series of demonstration runs in a BMW Sauber Formula One car.
The American, who has just finished his rookie season in Champ Car, seemed to enjoy himself with a series of burn-outs and donuts in the BMW Pit Lane Park, which was laid out in one of the hotel car parks.
The Pit Lane Park is taken to several races each year by BMW, who have designed it as a means of bringing Formula One closer to the fans.
Team sponsor Intel wanted to use the F1 demonstration as part of their promotional plans for the CES convention.


Any of you guys there?

Sounds cool. Interesting that there is a link between Rahal and BMW... Could Rahal be the new PTG when BMW brings the M3 to ALMS? They are already in ALMS GT2.

Ok, I'm done starting rumors.

Sounds SO SICK although a little too whiney at times (crappy camera mic?).
