City Race

City Racing Rotterdam, also known as "Monaco aan de Maas", was a sensational motorsport event that took place annually in the streets of Rotterdam. It brought the excitement and spectacle of Formula 1 to the city, and the Rotterdam Balloon Company played an important role, often providing balloons for events in the city and shops that wanted to stand out during this special event to indicate that they were open or had special promotions.

The event, originally started in 2005 under the name Monaco aan de Maas, was a real crowd puller. It attracted big names from the motorsport world, such as Jos Verstappen, Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and David Coulthard, who raced through the streets of Rotterdam with their impressive cars. The city temporarily turned into a high-speed racing track, where spectators could enjoy spectacular races, impressive demonstrations and breathtaking stunts performed by professional drivers.

The Rotterdam Balloon Company added a festive element to the City Racing Rotterdam by providing colorful balloons for various events in the city. The balloons gave a cheerful and festive atmosphere to the streets of Rotterdam and made it possible for shopkeepers to stand out during the event. With eye-catching balloon decorations, they could show that they were open and had special promotions, drawing the attention of the public.

Unfortunately, City Racing Rotterdam no longer exists due to a lack of sponsors. Despite this, it remains an unforgettable memory for those who attended. It was a unique opportunity to experience the excitement and spectacle of motorsport up close, and the streets of Rotterdam were filled with the sound of roaring engines and the enthusiasm of the spectators.

Although City Racing Rotterdam no longer takes place, the Rotterdam Balloon Company remains ready to provide other events in the city with colorful balloon decorations. They have proven to play an important role in creating a festive and eye-catching atmosphere. It remains a valuable partner for event organizers and retailers who want to stand out and create a festive atmosphere. Although City Racing Rotterdam is a thing of the past, the memory of the event and the contribution of the Rotterdam Balloon Company will live on in the hearts of those who experienced it.
