Red Bull’s EPIC journey to Jordan

The Red Bull Racing Live Demo team push the boundaries, taking F1 to places F1 does not otherwise go…

Starting in the far north of the country in the city of Jerash, the team, with David Coulthard driving the RB7, visited the Greco-Roman ruins of old Gerasa, racing alongside horse-drawn chariots in the ancient hippodrome. Following that they headed south with the RB7 to Petra, juxtaposing the thoroughly modern with one of the wonders of antiquity. Finally the team really opened the car up in the stunning expanse of Wadi Rum: wild and isolated but, given its use in every film from The Martian to Zero Dark Thirty, swiftly becoming as familiar a sight as Monument Valley after John Ford decided to make it the home of the Western.
