Red Bull F1 Showcar at World’s Highest Driveable Road, the Khardung La

Around the time Sebastian Vettel was establishing his own world record at Suzuka, the Red Bull Running Showcar team was scaling new heights in India. Neel Jani drove the F1 Showcar on the world’s highest driveable road, the Khardung-La pass in the Leh region of India at a height of 18,380 feet past the famous Thiksey Monastery, stopped by the Shanti Stupa and encountered the famous rolling roads of South Pullu.

This all makes Red Bull Racing the first Formula One team to have ever managed to transport, fire-up and drive an F1 car on what is arguably the most challenging terrain on the planet. An achievement we have not seen before and it shows that Formula 1 cars can even drive in the snow.
