The high definition race coverage, which uses used Dolby 5.1 surround sound, will be rolled out for the rest of the Grand Prix season.
"Formula 1 in cinema is a fantastic new way for fans to enjoy their favourite sport, said SuperVision Media chairman John Webber. “The excitement of Formula 1 and the intensity of the cinema experience are perfect for each other. It’s the next best thing to being at the race."
From the 2008 season, Formula 1 in cinema will be available on 250 screens across Europe and over 200 in North and South America. Expansion into Asia is scheduled for 2009.
