Basketball and Formula 1: GP cars in the NBA look / Formula 1

Formula 1 is working together with the NBA: To celebrate the start of the NBA season and the return of the premier class to Austin, the marketing professionals have come up with something special.

The Formula 1 stars are back on the “Circuit of the Americas” this weekend after the race on the Texas circuit had to be canceled last year due to the corona pandemic. This week, the 75th season of the highest North American basketball league started on Tuesday.

That’s why a couple of clever marketing strategists have come up with something special for fans of the premier class and supporters of the “National Basketball Association” (NBA for short): They present the GP racers in the look of the 30 NBA teams. You can see the pictures on social media, the first ten NBA liveries can already be found on Twitter and Co.

In addition, the Formula 1 teams will hold a special competition on Thursday: They will hold a free throw competition in the paddock. They are supported by NBA legends who try to coach the drivers.

Throws are ten times each, and the winners receive US $ 20,000, which will be donated to the charity that selects the winning team.
