LONDON, Dec 2 — The annual garden party for all things automotive is going to be a week later than usual in 2017.

The new dates are June 29 — July 2, but the week of the year is all that’s changing.

In October, festival organisers announced that the 2017 event would take place from June 22-25.

However, thanks to the newly updated 2017 Formula One calendar, the event would have clashed with an F1 race — a big problem when many of the Festival of Speed’s biggest star guests are F1 drivers and their cars.

If you’ve already bought a ticket, don’t worry: it will be accepted with the old dates on it. — AFP-Relaxnews
