    The Red Bull tyre-burning bonanza has moved from Marine Drive, Blouberg, to the Killarney Race Track, which is just up the road really. They announced this about an hour ago. If you show up at Marine Drive on Sunday you will witness precisely nothing, except for the usual kite-skaters and some severely hungover bar managers, emerging into the light.

    Anyway, the Red Bull team is in town and they’re putting on quite a show, for free, at the Killarney Racetrack. This will be the first time in 50 years that anything even remotely connected to Formula One races at Killarney, which staged the 1960 Cape Grand Prix.

    Killarney Race Track, in, um, Killarney. Old School but still kicking it.

    Having witnessed this incredible machine at Kyalami on the weekend, I highly, highly recommend heading through to see this car in action. And it’s not just any show car, this is Sebastien Vettel’s 2010 Championship winning racecar. The sound is unlike anything else on earth; it crawls under your skin, rattles your teeth and makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention. It’s really that good.

    My advice: try get a seat at Shell corner (ask a marshal for directions), the car should fly through here and start accelerating. Formula One cars are simply astounding through corners. Additionally try get onto a straight, either the main or back straight, to appreciate the quite ludicrous straight line acceleration. A modern F1 car reaches 100km/h in about 1.6 seconds, a bit faster than your turbo’d Corsa. Even with those mags wheels.

    For a video of the F1 car at Kyalami, and my noisy interview with David Coulthard, click here.
