Jarno Trulli will hit the streets of Rotterdam in the Netherlands when he demonstrates a TF107 at the Bavaria City Racing event on Sunday.

Just one week before the F1 circus returns to action in Valencia, Trulli will be entertaining F1 fans in more relaxed atmosphere when he puts his TF108 through its pace around a 2.2km track through the centre of Rotterdam.

The course will see the Italian cross the Willemsbrug bridge and pass some of the city's most recognisable landmarks on Coolsingel before the track loops back on itself at Hofplein.

Panasonic Toyota Racing will also be part of a Formula 1-style paddock area which will be open to VIPs on Sunday, giving a grand prix atmosphere and the chance to see the team working close up.

"It's very exciting to get the chance to show everyone in Rotterdam what Formula 1 is all about. Driving through the centre of the city will certainly be spectacular to watch and very exciting for me as the driver too," said Trulli.

"I expect it to be a great show and it will really build the anticipation for the street race in Valencia. I have never driven at this event in Rotterdam before but I won the Monaco Grand Prix a few years ago so I think I can manage!"

Meanwhile Trulli's team-mate, Timo Glock, will be in action in Monterey, California this weekend when he joins the joins the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races presented by Toyota at Laguna Seca.

Glock will be there to demonstrate the IMSA championship-winning Toyota Eagle Mark III sportscar while also taking part in the Toyota Race of Legends in a Scion tC sport coupe.
