Michelin plot Clermont-Ferrand celebrations.

Michelin is to celebrate its double title success during the 2006 Formula One season with a special demonstration on the streets of Clermont-Ferrand, the city where the French company is based.

On 12 December, Heikki Kovalainen - Renault race driver for the 2007 campaign - will take part in a special city-centre demonstration in a Renault R25 with a number of other special displays also due to take place.

"It is a genuine pleasure to be able to celebrate our two world titles while putting on such a spectacle for the citizens of Clermont-Ferrand," Michelin motorsport director Frederic Henry-Biabaud said. "We will be very happy to welcome Heikki Kovalainen and are immensely grateful to Renault for its participation.

"An event such as this underlines the strength of the relationship the two parties have enjoyed during many years of collaboration. We can't wait to see the city in party mood. It really will be a unique event."

Having wrapped up the drivers' and constructors' titles with Fernando Alonso and Renault for the past two seasons, Michelin will have no place in F1 next season after electing to withdraw from the sport.
