Want a visual representation of how extensive Red Bull’s involvement in motorsport is? Just take a look at the line-up in this drag race video. 

We have a Red Bull RB8 - the machine Sebastian Vettel used to snag the 2012 Formula 1 title - driven by Alpha Tauri’s Liam Lawson, who’s currently deputising for the injured Daniel Ricciardo. Then, there’s a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16 piloted by test rider and winner of many Motorcycle Grands Prix Dani Pedrosa, a Ford Puma World Rally Car with works driver Adrien Fourmaux behind the wheel, and a World Rallycross Peugeot 208 driven by 2019 champ Timmy Hansen. All feature enough Red Bull branding to make the company’s marketing team awfully excited.

As a bonus, the third of the three races shown in this video features the Ford Transit Supervan 4.0, driven by Romain Dumas. He knows a thing or two about very fast EVs, having won Pikes Peak and the Goodwood Hill Climb in a VW ID.R. He’s in comfortably the most powerful car here, producing around 2,000bhp, but also the heaviest at nearly 1,700kg.

The F1 car is the lightest four-wheeled vehicle at a mere 700kg, and with 850bhp from its 2.4-litre V8, it looks in with a good shout of victory. Then again, although the KTM is way down on power at 270bhp, it only weighs 157kg, and features a holeshot device to lower the centre of gravity, enabling a better launch. And with all that power, the Supervan could provide an upset.

So, who’s going to win? We don’t want to drop any spoilers, so place your bets, then give the video a watch to find out.
