Red Bull Gets Automotive Enthusiasts’ Hearts Racing

Car-porn is designed to titillate. It gets guys’ hearts racing, it puts smiles on their faces, and it’s pure visual & auditory pleasure.  Differing from porn of the more fleshy variety, the coolest car-porn is made with slick camera-work, good soundtrack, and expert editing.  The end result is a little morsel of pure, meaningless pleasure for the automotive enthusiast.

I’m not a big fan of the Red Bull Formula One racing team.  Really, I’m not sure if anyone is a die-hard Red Bull racing fan.  However, I have to say this video, which has real footage and computer graphics mixed together, is an expert little promotional piece.  It’s total fluff, but it’s good fluff!

And here’s another little goodie!  It promotes Red Bull, but also the Montreal Grand Prix returning in the 2010 season!

Finally, to give you a little bit of meat – something a little educational so that you aren’t scarfing up only automotive junk food: an explanation of modern F1 car design & construction from the fine folks at Red Bull Racing!
