The property developer which built Liverpool’s ONE shopping centre, plans to celebrate the building’s second birthday by running F1 cars through the city’s streets.

The event, which will take place on May 25 – the Tuesday before the Turkish Grand Prix – is being billed as the "Liverpool Pageant of Power". The event will also feature displays of motorbikes, classic cars and dragsters, as well as an air show.

Event director James Hall said: "It will be an evening event and there is a blueprint from the Tall Ships and other events that shows this can be done with minimal disruption to traffic and the working of the city. All the shops and restaurants will be open and we are confident that it will be a nice, safe and friendly environment for families to come and enjoy."
