Former Formula One driver David Coulthard drove the Red Bull Racing Running Show Car through the 1.5 mile Lincoln Tunnel, which connects New York and New Jersey. Coulthard hit speeds of 190 miles per hour, no doubt setting the record for the fastest-ever commute through the tunnel.
Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel made Formula One history by becoming the first F1 driver to sample the recently announced Grand Prix Circuit in New Jersey. Following an inspired performance in the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix, the Red Bull Racing star and Infiniti Global Brand Ambassador drove the street circuit in an Infiniti IPL G Coupe road car ahead of the highly anticipated Grand Prix of America, due to take place in 2013.
