Red Bull Racing bringing Formula One to Ireland in a matter of weeks - everything you need to know

Formula One will take to the streets of Dublin in a matter of weeks as the world champions, Red Bull Racing, plan for an epic spectacle at North Wall Quay.

The Red Bull Showrun will take place on Sunday, January 15, just weeks after the team secured two titles, 16 wins, 26 podium finishes, and the largest single-season points haul.

Following its most successful year yet, Oracle Red Bull Racing will head to Dublin to celebrate its success with the Irish fans.

The event will feature former Formula One driver David Coulthard as he demonstrates the roaring power, speed, and sound of Sebastian Vettel’s Championship-winning RB7 car live before thousands of spectators.

Coulthard spoke to the Irish Mirror at the Red Bull Racing Homerun last weekend in Milton Keynes and said: "I think it's fantastic that we have the opportunity to take formula one beyond the race tracks and I've been involved in a number of different running show car events in different cities around the world.

"It's great to be having that happen in Ireland in Dublin and I know the craic is going to be great. I know the energy is going to be great and I just hope the weather is good for us so we can actually put on a really nice demo."

He went on to say: "When I was in Belfast it was wet and that was quite difficult to really do anything too exciting but you know, it's as close as I'm going to get to doing something in the UK, not quite Scotland yet.

"But you know, I think there's you know, a kindred spirit between the Scotts and the Irish so looking forward and I'll maybe persuade my old buddy, Eddie Jordan to come along and spread some of his craziness."

Red Bull Motorsports Athletes Conor Shanahan (Drifter) and Mike Jensen (Stunt Bike Rider) will join Coulthard for the Showrun in an epic display of skill and showmanship.

The 2023 Red Bull Showrun will kick off at 16:30 until 18:00, along the North Wall Quay of Dublin City Centre.

Fans will also be able to view with the legendary RB7 up close on Saturday, 14th January from 13:00-17:00 at the Paddock - opposite the Central Bank on North Wall Quay - with free entry.
