ATLANTA — Formula 1 and off-road exhibition cars are cleared to run Hank Aaron Drive on Saturday after the city finalized assembly and outdoor-festival permits for the Red Bull Showrun in Summerhill.

Atlanta News First reported late Thursday that both permits were signed July 29 by Atlanta Chief of Staff Courtney English and recommended by Ebony Barley, the city’s director of special events. The outdoor festival application was amended at least eight times before approval. City estimates put attendance just under 50,000. Admission is free.
