""I'm seeing this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to see it like right near my hometown," said Annie Strickler, who made the trip from Orinda. "It's just really great that they're expanding and trying to expand their audience as well and get people from the Bay Area, because we love sports and we love F1.""
""I'm a pretty big F1 fan, so I've kind of just wanted any sort of chance to be able to come and see, like, the cars and the people," said Orinda resident Noah Sasson. "I think Red Bull's a really interesting team in F1, because I feel like they kind of resemble something a little against the grain, because some of the teams are really generational. They're old and Red Bull is the newer team.""
""I have been, like, a fan and watched the races, but definitely not, like, as huge of a fan. So I thought that this opportunity to see something for free, especially so close to me, is just like a really amazing thing," said Anna Kucheyev."
Red Bull Racing staged a Formula 1 showcase that closed San Francisco's Marina Boulevard and featured burnouts and high-performance vehicles. Bay Area fans traveled from nearby towns to see cars and drivers up close. Attendees described the event as a rare, local opportunity and praised efforts to expand the audience in the Bay Area. Fans noted Red Bull's image as a newer, against-the-grain team contrasted with older, generational teams. The showcase included other high-end performance and muscle cars and attracted longtime F1 followers, newer viewers, families, and pet owners.
