Red Bull brings a taste of of F1 action to Bangkok
Australian Mark Webber will race down Rajdamnoen Avenue this Saturday in honor of HM the King and Thailand's only F1 driver
Back in October, U.K. Red Bull chairman Chalerm Yoovidhya expressed an interest in building a Formula 1 circuit in Thailand.
That hasn't happened yet, but Bangkok will get a small taste of FI racing action this Saturday, December 18, when Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber drives an F1 car over a circuit down historic Rajdamnoen Avenue.
According to a post on Thaifestivalblogs.com, the race will run from Phan Fa Bridge (near the Golden Mount) towards Democracy Monument and finish at Kok Wua Intersection. The Aussie driver is expected to do three laps.
The Red Bull event, which begins with a parade at 1 p.m., is being held in honor of His Majesty the King's birthday and to commemorate the late Prince Birabongse Bhanudej, Thailand's only Formula 1 driver.
