From cobbled city streets in Europe to baking deserts in the Americas to conquering the highest road in the Himalayas and skating on the frozen rivers of Canada; the Showrun Team has been to every inhabited continent. And they are finally coming to Oman with former Formula 1 racing driver David Coulthard taking the wheel of the Constructors’ Championship winning F1 car to rip down the Muttrah Corniche during the high adrenaline ‘Red Bull Formula 1 Showrun’ on Friday April 8.
The exact route along the Muttrah Corniche is yet to be officially declared, but the proposed starting point is the Riyam Park roundabout, down the waterfront, rounding off at the Al Alam Palace.
The former F1 champion and highest scoring British driver of all time will also be performing a full repertoire of donuts and burnouts along with the speed stretches to enthrall the sure-to-be-huge gathering of Omani and expat motorsport fans invited to line the streets.
To give fans a chance to witness the contained ferocity of a Formula 1 car at very close quarters, the team’s car, which accelerates from 0-100km/h in 2.4 seconds and reaches speeds of 250km/h and above, will be displayed and fired up at various locations around Oman including the Omantel headquarters (the event’s principle sponsor) on April 7, the day before the main event.
Stay tuned for more details on the roaring motoring extravaganza, as we bring you the latest updates over the coming weeks.
