    Red Bull Racing on public roads in Sao Paulo

    This is nuts!!!

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=YhF_Zp8nM7o

    The road is closed but there is no safety for the pedestrians or the driver. He can crash into a tree or something...

    Imagine going for a walk and listening the screaming engine....
    Then after a while seeing the water spray fron the diffuser...
    and then seeing the actual car....

    Nice find Lightweight. It's nowhere near the speeds that it should reach, but it's still cool. I still wonder, it must be a safety nightmare. How are you to drive that car safely in the wet? It must be very difficult.

    Wow, that would have been great to see. Imagine the surprise the public got by seeing that. I would have been like, I must be seeing things, that could not be a F1 car on the street. Anyone know if anything was actually on fire at the end? I saw them spray something.

    probably got carjacked/kidnapped as soon as he got out. Rich, conspicious you're asking for trouble.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    It's pretty easy if you use the combination of experience and Traction Control.

    Funnily enough, members of the Toyota F1 team were victims of an attempted carjacking/robbery on their way back to the hotel from the Interlagos circuit. They were approached at the traffic lights by a gun-toting gang of hoodlums who fired shots and attempted to kick the windows in. Dangerous place Sao Paolo!
