David Coulthard will be driving the RB8 F1 car. It is a composite monocoque structure, designed and built in-house with a Renault V8 engine and the double title winning 2012 vehicle. It also won the Constructors World Championship that year and accelerates from 0-100km/h in 2.4 seconds reaching speeds of more than 250km/h on an open track so I can’t wait to put it through its paces
Red Bull F1 Showrun events have visited the four corners of the world, including locations that would not normally host a F1 event and in many cases giving people their first taste of Formula 1 up close. As for the bike stunts, you can you can expect anything and everything from no-handed wheelies, to sitting on the bike backwards, to burnouts and donuts
