Who's driving?
The RB7 was one of the most dominant machines in Formula 1 history, taking 18 of 19 poles and winning 12 races on the team’s way to a second Drivers’ and Constructor’s Championship double in 2011 at the hands of legend Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. David "The Chin" Coulthard will reprise his performance in the RB7, taking to the tight streets of Sandton to wow the crowds with the sights and sounds generated by the Red Bull.
What to expect
The RB7 will not be the only attraction for avid fans as world-class performances by German drifter Elias Hountondji (who’s a trained aerospace engineer as well as being one-half of the world-famous ‘Red Bull Driftbrothers’) and motorbike stunt rider Arūnas ‘Aras’ Gibieža, along with a few special surprises, will entertain the crowd in between Coulthard’s runs.
When is it?
The Red Bull Showrun is scheduled for Sunday, 6 October, and will allow fans to experience Formula 1 up close and personal in a festive, family-friendly environment. For more information, visit www.redbull.com/showrun or get your tickets at Computicket
