F1 Grand Prix themed party hailed great success

 

Guests at the SOLEX Afterparty Event were treated to all the thrills and spills of the racetrack on Tuesday evening.

 

Star of the show was David ‘Crofty’ Croft who shared the inside track on all things F1 as well as presenting the prestigious SOLEX Awards.

 

There was also a feast of racetracks from around the globe as well as four F1 Silverstone Simulators. The top four racers battled it out for the coveted LOFA Cup in a final race, complete with live commentary.

 

LOFA's General Manager and SOLEX Event Director Gina Hinde said: "One word- AMAZING! Everyone enjoyed it, it was a great atmosphere – 'Crafty' was outstanding and the F1 simulators were very popular and the head-to-head rounded the evening off nicely."

 

Here's what some guest had to say:

 

Woodlodge: "We had a good laugh, very enjoyable evening. It was a lot of fun and there was absolutely nothing anyone could complain about. Crofty was absolutely brilliant, we can’t wait for next year!"

 

Ascalon: "Probably the best afterparty event SOLEX has done, very well organised as always, thank you!"

 

Rotospa: "Thank you for a great event, we really enjoyed it. Lovely food – something for everyone."

 

Zest: "Great fun event – Nice for everyone to come together and mix after the show. The evening was relaxed, with great humour from Crofty – certainly one to remember!"

 

Pacific: "Fantastic night, what SOLEX do for the industry is incredible; it’s what everyone should be doing!"
