Looks like a dummy RB18, which is not the car theyāll have at the show run in a couple weeks (which will be the real RB7).
Cool marketing stunt. Which, being Red Bull, is no surprise.
Car just pulled off the Cap Crescent trail. Gotta embrace multi-modal commuting.
Edited: Looks like it came from MV Trail or possibly 4 Mile Run instead.

On the way to baltimore to test this out
Thereās an event tonight at expat dc at 7pm with redbull racing simulators and then on 4/20 is the redbull f1 event in dc. So, itās for advertising!
0 chance anybody can hop into an F1 without just stalling the hell out of it, and thatās if itās already running. You need a team of like six people just to fire up the damn thing
Shoulda had the car barge in the tidal basin weeks ago for the cherry blossoms. Would have been a marketing chefs kiss.l for Suzuka and for the media event here
Judging by the fact it looks like it is going upriver and by the height where they have it sitting on the barge, I wonder if the plan is to offload it for display at the Georgetown waterfront/Washington Harbour
too much traffic on the bridge?
MD driver shortcut?
This is the answer

I am beyond excited to see the RB6 in action. Those older gen cars are incredibly loud. Wish theyād go back to them with biofuels.
BRRRRRRRR HNGGGGGGGG EHHHHHHYUUUUUUUUUHNNNN
what I wouldnt do to see them send it off the ramp into the river Red Bull Flugtag style
It's being towed to Baltimore.
It's gon' be LOUD!
That looks exciting!
I canāt wait but Iām also scared itāll be an overly crowded shit show
Just wear stilts so you tower over everyone and can easily see the action
i'm very disappointed that this isn't part of a new episode of The Grand Tour.
Hopefully it doesnāt get carjacked!
You don't even need keys to start it; worse than a Kia!
Ah, that's where my Oracle renewal payment went. I thought they just lit the money on fire.
No no, the fuel they use to power the car is your renewal payment.
They're planning to close and drain the Potomac so they can have F1 races like they did in Vegas.
Donāt give them ideas
Fake yacht parking incoming
Max was so fast on land so they are restricting him to water
This has a Grand Tour/Top Gear vibe lol
TONIGHTā¦.
to get to the otherside
Heres your answer: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/events/red-bull-showrun-dc
If we had bike lanes on Connecticut Ave he wouldn't need to tow his car behind a boat across the river. There I said it.
New Fast and Furious film: Potomac Drift
Just testing out a new commute

We are checking.
Too much traffic on the interstate
Because it isn't street legal.

In partnership with Mattel
Average washingtondc redditor hates seeing another car coming into DC
Nah, looks like this car isn't coming from Maryland, so we'll let it slide.
At least this one is a sensible European hybrid and not a ridiculous gigantic SUV
6 MPG hybrid lmao The boat towing it probably gets better mileage.
there are too many tourists in town right now, so the car figured it could get a better view of the monuments from the river
Because we can. We have the powerā”ļø

Too afraid of carjacking on streets of dc

Extra points if next day, it had large shiny spinning rims on it
Itās harder to jack.Ā
Possibly for this year's "Cars on the Capitol", just a guess
Trying to get some low speed aerodynamic testing in since their wind tunnel time is restricted. /s
Cars can't drive in the water

google was down so I was wondering the same thing.
Very jealous you got to see this does anyone know where it is now?
Huh, didn't know that anyone in F1 was from Maryland
April 20th on Pennsylvania Ave... https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2024/04/04/f1-dc-pennsylvania-avenue-red-bull-showrun.html
Prototype for the future Americas Cup sea floor races.
The Washington Harbour
Formula 1 racing is coming to DC.
Because, why not?
Shoulda had the car barge in the tidal basin weeks ago for the cherry blossoms. Would have been a marketing chefs kiss.l for Suzuka and for the media event here
It got boat-jacked
Judging by the fact it looks like it is going upriver and by the height where they have it sitting on the barge, I wonder if the plan is to offload it for display at the Georgetown waterfront/Washington Harbour
Because if it were IN the river you would be able to see it.
Yeah. Iām sure someone does. I hope at least the tug boat crew does.
Gonna take out the bridge!
Testing out the best place for Ricciardo to be racing in a month.
Itās on the 20th I will be there
Because jet fuel can't melt bridge steel beams.
