For the second summer in succession the Red Bull Running Showcar, during the Formula 1 factory shutdown, took the chance to visit the U.S.
Driven by former F1 driver David Coulthard, the Red Bull-Renault RB7 championship-winning car visited New York and drove through Liberty State Park, the Lincoln Tunnel and the streets of the race course, which winds through both Weehawken and West New York.
The F1 car also toured Liberty State Park, showcasing the spectacular views of the New York City skyline as well as the Statue of Liberty. Feeling ever so patriotic, the car 'sang' the Star Spangled Banner as the sun was setting.
Moving on to a link between New York and New Jersey, the car made an overnight drive in the Lincoln Tunnel. Reaching a staggering 190 miles per hour, it no doubt set the record for fastest commute from NYC to New Jersey.
Wrapping up the car's American vacation, it became the first Formula 1 car to lay rubber on the Grand Prix of America streets, bringing residents out of their homes to catch the historic sight.
