The first Red Bull Showrun D.C. event took over Pennsylvania Avenue for a taste of Formula 1 racing and other high energy motor sports on Saturday.

Crowds of car enthusiasts, or even the race car curious, filled the sidewalks as the event brought in legendary driver David Coulthard, and the team at Oracle Red Bull to show off some muscle and speed in the heart of the nation’s capital.

WTOP’s Dick Uliano reported crowds turned out en masse to watch the four block show run of a Red Bull racer. Holding cell phone cameras above the heads of the crowd, they tried to capture the cars whose engines roar so powerfully you can feel in your chest.
