Formula 1 Demonstration in Downtown Austin

[Glenn B.]

To turn up the heat ( as if we need it) on the US grand prix at the new Circuit of the Americas being built in Austin, they are closing of a section of downtown streets and David Coulthard will be lighting up the tires in a Red Bull Racing F1 car in the middle of the city on Saturday morning. Should be awesome to see and deafeningly loud with the echo between the glass buildings. I will post some video if I can get close enough to the action.

Re: Formula 1 Demonstration in Downtown Austin has been CANCELLED

From the Austin Grand Prix website:

Sadly, this is the update that we didn't want to be writing about.

Late last night, the Austin American-Statesman posted this update on the Red Bull F1 Showcar:

Red Bull announced early today that they are not doing a public show car event in Austin this week.

“Due to feasibility, a formal Formula One show car demonstration that is open to the public will not be executed this week,” Red Bull said in a statement. “However, in an effort to bring fans up-close and personal to Formula One, the Red Bull Racing show car will be on display in front of the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum this Saturday from noon to 2 p.m.”

We don't have any further answers to the Who? What? When? Where? and Why
