When Red Bull Racing was formed back in 2005, a separate squad was established to take a full-spec Formula One car around the globe to give international audiences a taste of F1. From Panama to Russia, from Japan to Jamaica, the team's drivers have been providing the fastest street entertainment on the planet ever since.
For the first time in South African Formula One history, the Red Bull Racing F1 Team will be making its way to Cape Town. It's a chance for F1 fans in the Mother City to get up very close to an F1 car doing what it's made for.
On 1 January, 1960, the Cape Grand Prix was held at Killarney. This was the first time the track and the Western Cape had a taste of Formula One. Now, 50 years later, Red Bull Racing brings F1 back.
Driving the Formula One car is Swiss native, Neel Jani, who started his racing career at the age of 12 and has since joined Red Bull Racing as an F1 test driver assisting Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber to qualify P1 and P2 at the Melbourne GP in 2010.
