Red Bull Racing set to burn tires on Lung Wo Road.

Saturday, 18 June, Lung Wo Road. Those are all the details needed for an appointment with the current World Formula One Champions – Red Bull Racing in The Red Bull Dragon Run Hong Kong (presented by 7-Eleven). The date is set, the team is ready and it promises to be a memorable day for Hong Kong as well as the racin g scene...

The F1 car will be driven by current Formula One driver for the Scuderia Torro Rosso team, Jaime Alguesuari.

The Red Bull Dragon Run Hong Kong event will last about an hour. The public can expect manoeuvres such as short sprints, burnouts, engine breaks and donuts, which one won’t get to see often in actual F1 races. The performance area will be along the stretch of Lung Wo Road, the stretch between the IFC and the Wanchai Convention Centre. Crowds upwards of 40,000 spectators are expected to line the estimated 600m stretch. A series of pre-event activations can also be expected in the lead up to the event. To round up the motorsports extravaganza, super bike and drift show demonstrations, high speed car formations will also be organised & played out before the Red Bull Racing F1 car roars to life, making the event a real motor racing extravaganza.

The Red Bull racing team will be in town from 15 June and a series of pre-event activation is lined up in the run-up to the event. On 16 June (Thursday), the Red Bull Formula One car will make its appearances in locations around town (to surprise people, the locations will not be disclosed before hand) that may give the average Hong Konger a view they don't see every day. On 15 and 17 June, it will spend a day being displayed in The World Trade Centre and in front of a selected 7-Eleven store at Patterson Street, Causeway Bay.

There will also be festivities to entice motorsports enthusiasts as the Red Bull Dragon Run mobile showroom makes it way around town, offering them a chance to play the Red Bull Racing simulator and win official Red Bull Racing products.

Entrance to the event is free and spectators can be promised an unforgettable day for motor-heads or just someone looking for an adrenalin-fuelled weekend.
