Thousands of spectators flocked to North Wall Quay in Dublin on Sunday, January 15, to catch a glimpse of some of Red Bull’s high-performance athletes up close and personal.
The Dublin Showrun welcomed more than 15,000 people to the spectacular event - the first of its kind to take place on the streets of the capital.
Former Formula One Driver David Coulthard teamed up with Red Bull Athletes, Drifter Conor Shanahan and Motorcycle Stunt Rider Mike Jensen for the epic motorsports exhibition.

Fans were treated to an epic show as the Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car, alongside Shanahans GT86 and Jensen on his Suzuki GS500 Motorcycle showcased their skills with a repertoire of donuts, burnouts and speed stretches for the crowd.
Coulthard’s RB8 car is a composite monocoque structure, designed and built in-house with a V8 engine - renowned for the sheer noise it expels, reaching 145 decibels.
It won the Driver and Constructors World Championship in 2012 and accelerated from 0-100km/h in 2.4 seconds, reaching speeds of more than 250km/h on an open track.
Red Bull’s latest showrun was a memorable evening as many Irish fans got their first taste of Formula 1 in the flesh.
If you weren’t able to nab one of the highly sought-after tickets to what hopefully is the first of many events of its kind, here are some highlights from the evening:
