Red Bull is putting on a Showrun this weekend in Washington, D.C. that will have David Coulthard driving an RB7 down Pennsylvania Avenue.
The Formula 1 troupe is racing in China this weekend and having an uneven time of it so far, what with weather and track issues. On this side of the world, there'll be an Oracle Red Bull Racing single-seater blasting through our nation's capital this weekend, where the roads are going to be even worse than the track in China, but the atmosphere will be just as rowdy and there's no chance of getting overtaken.
The RB7 demo is part of a four-hour event happening in two places. The Fan Fest at Union Market on 5th Street SE opens at 2 p.m. and goes until well into the evening.
The"track" for live runs opens at 1:30 p.m. about two miles away, at Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues. There will be more stuff to see and do here until 4 to 6 p.m., when Coulthard starts warming up to make his runs. Red Bull suggests getting here early"as trackside access will be limited after 4 p.m." When Coulthard's finished at 6 p.m.
It all starts Sunday, April 20, and it's all free. If you can't make D.C., are are least four more Showruns scheduled in Bowie, Texas, Nashville, Chicago, and Wasilla, Alaska, before the year is out.
