The display was held in two 20 minute rounds, but the short, 1.2 kilometer distance did not allow the car to reach full speed.

At the end of the display, Coulthard went one lap around the track waving the Romanian flag in front of an audience of 10,000. In addition, Coulthard left the racecar and took another lap in an Audi R8 car.

Throughout his career, David Coulthard (38) competed in the F1 for the teams Williams Reanult (1994-1995), McLaren-Mercedes (1996-2004) and Red Bull Racing (2005-2008).

His best season was in 2001, when he ranked second to then world champion Michael Schumacher, from Ferrari.
