Red Bull to take on Bathurst in F1 laps

World champions Red Bull will take on the Mount Panorama circuit with F1 machinery in 2023.

Red Bull will run the RB7 around the Bathurst track, the car which won both championships in 2011.

“Oracle Red Bull Racing are the current Formula 1 World Champions: just to have them at the event is a privilege, but to know that the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car will be lapping Mount Panorama will be something else," said Shane Rudzis, Bathurst 12 Hour Event Director.

“This will be a spectacle like nothing we’ve seen at the 12 Hour before and takes the event to an entirely new level."

The team and cars will also be on display in the Bathurst paddock.

“This will be the best opportunity in 2023 for Australian F1 fans to get up close and personal with F1 machinery and an even rarer opportunity to see a Formula 1 car lap Mount Panorama," said Rudzis.

The unofficial record lap at the circuit is held by Jenson Button, who took to the track in 2011 in his McLaren MP4-23.

The driver for the show run will be announced in the new year, with speculation rife that Daniel Ricciardo could be at the helm in his new role with Red Bull.

The LIQUI MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour takes place 3-5 February 2023.
