Rajpath turns FI race track

Red Bull Racing Formula One car today zipped down the capital's Rajpath ahead of the Indian Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida from October 28.
   As many as 60,000 fans cheered on Red Bull Racing's driver Daniel Ricciardo as he powered his F1 car down the ceremonial boulevard for the Republic of India.
   With Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate serving as backdrops on either side, this historic moment signaled the last lap of Red Bull's activities in the lead up to the 2011 Indian Formula One GP.
   Red Bull Racing fans, Formula One enthusiasts and other onlookers thronged the streets to catch a glimpse of the Red Bull Racing Formula One car which fired down the stretch, clocking speeds of
over 300kph.
   Keeping up with the Formula One car were the Ghost Ryderz - India's top professional stunt bike group. Impressing crowds with a mix of jaw dropping wheelies and stoppies, the Ghost Ryderz set
Rajpath on fire, defining precision on two wheels.
   Not to be left out, some of the best drivers in India took to the tarmac in Renault Koleos' balancing acceleration and braking to the tee. That resulted in perfect synchronised formations with of
course, screeching tyres and the smell of burnt rubber.
   "It was a proud moment for me to be the first Formula 1 driver to race down the iconic Rajpath," said Daniel.
   "Today's drive was truly exhilarating especially with the legions of cheering fans who lined up the road. I’ve never seen anything like this before but I’m sure that Red Bull has set millions of
pulses racing as India waits for the lights to turn green at the Grand Prix later this month."
   With Red Bull Racing gearing up for the first ever India Grand Prix, the world champions thrilled fans who now wait to hear the sound of Sebastian Vettel's and Mark Webber's RB7s screaming down
the track.
