Red Bull brings Formula One buzz back to the Valley

Red Bull will bring its Showrun series to the city in March, featuring F1 demonstration cars on East Jefferson Street. The event will stretch between South Central Avenue and South 5th Street. Spectators can line the sidewalks — at no charge — to witness world-class motorsports vehicles driven by elite drivers, including Red Bull’s Nikola Tsolov and Scott Speed.

While not a sanctioned race, the Showrun’s appearance in Phoenix marks another chapter of Formula One in the desert.

Phoenix last hosted an official F1 Grand Prix from 1989 to 1991 at the Phoenix Street Circuit. The showcase marks the first F1 demonstration in Arizona in decades, pushing the state back into the international motorsports spotlight.

Red Bull’s Showrun tour places Downtown Phoenix on a national stage by blending global motorsports culture with local pride. With Formula One returning to the Valley — even for a showcase — it signals that Arizona may once again enter the conversation of international racing.
