Red Bull Promotes New Jersey Grand Prix with Video of RB8 Driving Course

The New Jersey Grand Prix might not last given all of the logistics problems

driving the track, racing through the Jersey Tunnel and singing the national anthem. 

The video is well produced, and it is really fun to hear the car belting out the national anthem. However, it makes the course look very uninspiring and begs the question of safety. The houses are really close to the edge of the track. 

It will be surprising in the very litigious US if no one sues due to all the noise that the cars will create so close all of these homes. 

It is easy to understand why staging a race just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, but this could easily turn into a fiasco. 

Below the video of the RB8 is a video of Sebastian Vettel driving the projected course earlier this year.
