CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The internationally-prominent Formula One™ auto racing series has named QuintEvents as A Formula One™ Paddock Club™ Authorised Distributor for 16 races around the world, including its newest race in Austin, Texas November 16-18, 2012.

Formula One™ has appointed industry-leading hospitality company QuintEvents to market the program, called Grand Prix Experiences, which takes advantage of the Paddock Club's specially-designed hospitality facilities overlooking the pit lane and the finish line at 16 of the Grand Prix tracks.

The Paddock Club provides excitement and glamour, alongside premium dining and entertainment for fans, sponsors, corporate clients and F1™ Teams.  The customizable two or three day packages range in price from $3,450 per person to $5,460.  QuintEvents will be adding accommodation, transportation, parties and other premium services to complete the ultimate "Grand Prix Experiences".

The race weekends begin with practice on Friday and Saturday, qualifying on Saturday and the Grand Prix race on Sunday with trackside locations, scheduled pit tours, access to the sponsor display and shopping village, access to the Support Race Paddock, day-long open bar champagne and fine wine bars, gourmet food, driver interviews and VIP parking.  The Paddock Clubs can accommodate individuals and small or large corporate or social groups in private or semi-private suites and general seating hospitality areas.  All areas have multi-screen television coverage of the racing competition.

All ticket and hospitality packages come direct from Formula One Paddock Club™ and will be delivered by QuintEvents as a "Formula One Paddock Club™ Authorised Distributor."   The program, Grand Prix Experiences, also provides fans with a secure buying platform, rather than ticket brokers or secondary market channels that can be risky and uncertain.  The Official packages are available now at www.QuintEvents.com and will be featured soon on the Official website, www.GrandPrixExperiences.com

"Formula One is the Super Bowl and Kentucky Derby of auto racing," offered Brian Learst, C.E.O. of QuintEvents.  "We have an intimate understanding of how to work with the fans and the corporate interests to make it an exceptional experience for all.  These Paddock Club venues are second to none in providing the environment for an unforgettable experience."
