I’ll be trackside, cheering him on along with the rest of the crowd!” KISS and Vanessa Amorosi are just two of the big names added to the GP entertainment line-up for 2008.

Among her many career highlights is performing at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and the Manchester Commonwealth Games.

As one of the few Australian artists to sell one million albums, one thing’s for sure, Vanessa is an extraordinary performer and she is looking forward to rocking the Grand Prix. for more F1 Grand Prix news, click HERE! |
