I'm sure the chains have a SFI rating too.

Let's see if I have this right. They put studded tires on a Formula 1 car with about an-inch-and-a-quarter ground clearance and run it out to play in the snow.

And they make a ten minute movie about it in which three minutes is portentous low-level shots while they play with lights and about seven minutes of freeze-frames of people looking very serious as they pontificate.

THIS IS REALLY EXCELLENT ADVERTISING FOR RED BULL!!!!! :)

Bob, thanks for posting this. Best chuckle I've had for several days!!!

   What a surprise, RedBull is involved in an idiotic idea involving something with an engine and a bunch of guys that wear to stupid looking hats with the flat bill pulled down over their eyebrows.  To get the slow motion scenes they didn't have to slow down the film speed too much. Wow, super exciting. Wish I were there----only cause it's been so freakin hot and humid the past two weeks.
