There is no room left in the showcases to shelter his infinite trophies and, at this rate, he will not have room in his heart to house so much affection. Next Sunday, November 28, Cibeles will dress up to pay tribute once again to Carlos Sainz. On the occasion of the launch of the documentary “Live to compete”, Red Bull and Madrid will pay tribute to their living motorsport legend.
“Doing something like this in my city is the perfect opportunity to bring part of my sports career closer to all the fans and also a moment to thank everyone who has followed and helped me over the years. Driving in Madrid will be very special and I think all the fans who come here are going to enjoy it a lot.”Says Carlos.
The launch of the Amazon Prime and Red Bull Media House docuseries, which opens on December 2, is going to be in style. Cibeles, the scene of the celebrations of his Real Madrid del alma, will be a party, but this time of the motor, where a circuit to Colón has been designed for the different exhibitions. There they will be from the Seat Panda of its beginnings to the Audi RS Q e-tron with which in January it will try to add its fourth victory in the Dakar, passing through the Toyota Celica with which it won its first world rally title or two authentic ‘ missiles’: Audi Quattro S1 group B and Audi S1 rallycross. A journey through the endless career of Carlos Sainz, two-time world rally champion, triple Dakar winner, eternal motorsport legend and illustrious Madrilenian.
A trajectory that will be reflected in the documentary with 5 opening chapters, which will be released on December 2 in 200 countries, which will culminate in the final episode that will arrive in March with the summary of his time at Dakar 2022. More than three decades at the top of motor sport condensed in television format in an exhaustive work that promises unknown testimonies from Sainz.
And nothing better to launch it than the great party in Cibeles on November. A few meters from the Puerta de Alcalá, where Madrid already paid tribute to the champion when he retired from the World Rally Championship in 2003, his countrymen will once again pay tribute to one of his most illustrious athletes. There will be many of the people who have contributed to writing the most brilliant pages of his endless career, nor the skidding behind the wheel of many of the vehicles he has driven throughout his life.
