Red Bull Show-Run - Houston 2024
On September 7, 2024, more than 35,000 fans from Houston and across the Lone Star State shut down Discovery Green’s iconic 12-acre park as Red Bull Showrun took over the heart of downtown Houston on Saturday afternoon.
The event featured two championship-winning F1 cars driven by legendary driver and 13-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard in the RB7 and Red Bull Junior Driver Arvid Lindblad in the RB8.
The event marked Lindblad’s first time driving a F1 car publicly as he sped down the custom-built track in the Visa Cash App RB liveried car.
Attendees were treated to show-stopping displays of burnouts, wheelies, donuts and more by drifting expert ‘Mad’ Mike Whiddett in his recently unveiled "MadMac drifting McLaren P1 Hypercar," off-road racing champion Andrew Carlson in his Pro4 truck, and acrobat-style skills on two-wheels demonstrated by street freestyle motorcyclist Aaron Colton. Ford Mustang GT3’s race cars also joined in on the action.
To celebrate the Houston car culture, the weekend exhibition gave a heavy nod to the city’s historic roots with a lowrider parade featuring local owners and a pop-up car parade from Cars and Coffee featuring a handful of luxury and custom vehicles. Plus, the RB7 received a true Houston makeover as the car was fitted with spike-like rims (commonly referred to as elbows or swangas) in true slab fashion.
““Thank you to the city of Houston for getting us all together. And the thousands of people who turned out for today’s Red Bull Showrun. To come to Houston, it’s such a vibrant city, not far from the baseball stadium and we’re right in the heart of where all the action’s happening from a sporting sense. The fan base in America is so passionate and I think the energy has been amazing today.” ”
