The Red Bull demonstration car had a V8 engine, famous for its deafening howl, a sound that F1 fans miss quite dearly, now that the V8 has been replaced by Hybrid V6 engines. After the pitstop, the car drove off and performed a few donuts as the spectators looked on in delight.

The pitstop wasn’t a quick one, and the team deliberately made it somewhat slow, so that people had a chance to take pictures of the whole process.
