    I went to the filming for the Red Bull commercial this morning. I just moved here a month and a half ago from San Diego and already getting to enjoy the F1 spirit here. Basically they would do a start up sequence for the car and then shut it down. 2 minutes later Coulthard would get in the car and start the car up again, take a run down to the end of the street and then back, do a quick 180 in front of the crowd and do it a couple more times. Then he would come back into the makeshift pits and start all over. The last time he went out the organizers backed up the crowds a bit and Coulthard did about 5 360's in front of the crowd. There was also a very strangely dressed individual that was part of the film crew (although he was basically laying on the car half the time) that i added a picture of :) I hope you guys enjoy the pics.

    I don't know which is more disconcerting, that guy in his black T shirt in Texas August heat, or his gf to the left, whose khakis are disappearing up her butt???

    I heard they DID get to run the car, tho, so 'good on 'em"!!!

    It's a modified International MXT. The top opens up, speakers, tv's are present and a DJ spins away.
