McLaren have confirmed that fuel supplier Mobil 1 are the force behind the promotional event later this year which will see 2008 Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton and double NASCAR champion Tony Stewart swap cars.
A McLaren spokesman confirmed:
“Putting Lewis Hamilton and Tony Stewart on the track together later this year – and having them switch cars for a first time – is something Mobil 1 has been considering as a great way to highlight Mobil 1's relationships in the world of motorsports. A lot of planning goes into an event of this nature and we are working closely with the Mobil 1 team. When we are able to confirm details, we will share additional information.”
It echoes the Juan Pablo Montoya and Jeff Gordon swap in 2003 which took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and should be an enjoyable event for both drivers.
