News>> F1 On The Streets Of Hong Kong

Over the weekend, Red Bull's Running Showcar team stopped by Asia to unleash their F1 car on the streets of Hong Kong.

With a break between the Canadian Grand Prix and the next race in Valencia, Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari hopped into the Red Bull F1 demo car…

…And did multiple runs down Hong Kong's Lung Wo Road.

The Dragon Run event drew more than 43,000 spectators, and was supported by superbike and drift demonstrations.

The main attraction however, was seeing – and hearing – an F1 car at full song.

With a backdrop like that, I'm sure you'll agree that a Hong Kong Grand Prix would be perfect!

Red Bull's Running Showcar has been to many countries with their F1 car running on the streets of Sao Paolo and even on the beaches of the Dominican Republic

…One thing's for sure, wherever this travelling circus visits they'll be leaving some nice marks on the asphalt!

And the red bull demo F1 car ran up and down Riverside Drive in Perth, Western Australia! No barrier or roadblocks, just police to stop traffic, and I was standing 1.5M from Daniel Ricciardo smoking it up!

I saw it too Jong, I had to laugh: looked like it was holding up traffic cause it "heard a familiar sound", turned to look, and a flash of an F1 car drives by. Ferrari instincts.

Stunning photos! Shame on HK Govt thou, initially imposing a 50km/h speed limit then gradually raised to 120km/h for this event. A top tier motorsport show case of an F1 car! In closed environment! What's with that!? There are photos floating around capturing laser speedtraps set atop the flyovers, aimed at the Red Bull. WTF?!
