    Don't use their involvement in Formula 1 as a blueprint--go back and do some research on WHY the owner of Red Bull (Dietrich Mateschitz) bought the team (for a single U.S. dollar) and how they use it to market their product through the Red Bull and Toro Rosso teams. They will never be a part of motorsports sponsorships in the United States...not NASCAR, not IndyCar, not NHRA, no class of boat racing, let alone an insignificant (as far as they are concerned) event like the Reno Air Races. It just won't happen. Dreaming is all it will ever be..
    Supercross
    Motocross
    Motogp
    World Rally Championship

    All 4 of those were around for decades before Redbull got involved. SuperCross and Motocross are AMERICAN motorsports series.


    Dont let Redbull involvement in Formula one distract you from everything else they do

          Indycar is paying Red Bull for that R&D. Red Bull had developed it for F1 before they went with the halo design. Now they are adapting it to mount to the Indycar tub.

            I'm apparently one of the few that really enjoyed the RBAR. I saw it as something completely different than NCAR. Different planes, different type of competition, different kind of excitement. I was looking forward to attending a race in the next year or two. I agree that there is nothing like race week at Reno but I think it's a loss to aviation in general.

              Red Bull has done more for motor sports than any company in the history of man.

              How soon we forget a little company called "Budweiser".....
