MOTOR racing fans were given a rare treat when a Formula 1 car roared into Oldham.

In celebration of the weekend’s British Grand Prix, the ING R27 Renault went on display at Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre on Saturday.

Jake Cottram (nine) and brother Lewis (six) took the chance to get a close look at the Formula 1 car.

The team raced to 12 and 14th places at Silverstone, though the Renault-powered Red Bull cars scored a one-two, with Sebastian Vettel winning ahead of team-mate Mark Webber.
