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!
