"Around 50,000 fans reportedly showed up to watch the spectacle, which featured a branded Ford Raptor T1+ rally racer, a multi-million dollar F1 car, and other high-performance vehicles speeding along the short stretch of Marina Boulevard between Buchanan and Baker streets, which was closed to traffic from 3 am to 10 pm Saturday, as SFGate reported."
"KTVU spoke to some of the spectators. "A bunch of drivers were doing crazy things like wheelies and driving with their feet off and standing up," said Avi Singh of San Jose. "I love it. I think it's fun to have so many people around. People are excited. It's bringing people from all across the city and the Bay Area," said Stephanie Lo of San Francisco."
San Francisco's Marina Boulevard was converted into an eighth-of-a-mile demonstration racetrack Saturday for a Red Bull-sponsored Formula One event. Around 50,000 spectators attended the closed stretch between Buchanan and Baker streets, which was shut to traffic from 3 am to 10 pm. The lineup included a branded Ford Raptor T1+ rally racer, a multi-million-dollar F1 car, and other high-performance vehicles driven by Yuki Tsunoda, Scott Speed, Mitch Guthrie, and Aaron Colton. Spectators performed stunts and cheered along the waterfront. Scott Speed's car struck a barrier that hit the crowd fence, causing minor injuries and reports of damage and trash left in the Marina District.
