TEST DRIVES: TRANSFORMING TRIALS TO SALES

The event is unique for its ingenious use of the iconic Monaco Grand Prix circuit test drives. Offering VIP visitors the unparalleled opportunity of a test drive of the industry's latest engineering innovations on the F1 track is one of the main reasons why the show draws thousands of high caliber visitors each year – 34,700 visitors, including over 2,000 guests to our VIP Meregalli Champagne Bar at the 2012 show. These guests represent your exact target market. For the second time in the history of the show the test drive circuit was closed to traffic for drivers to experience the fast track sensation and the famous F1 Racasse corner. This unique aspect of Top Marques showcases the supercars and customized luxury cars to brilliant effect making it an easy transition from trial to sale for potential buyers. Down in the Top Marques pits 25 cars and 3 bikes took advantage of this ultimate sales strategy for the 9th edition.
