Red Bull has long been involved in Formula One as a sponsor of teams and drivers; and now as a team owner. In 2004, the Jaguar Racing team, which itself was born out of the Stewart Grand Prix team, was put up for sale by the Ford Motor Company. The outlook was bleak, until the energy-drink company stepped in. Life at the Team has never been the same since. A total commitment to on-track success and a refreshing approach to how things are done in the paddock, which duly prompted smiles and frowns from the incumbent regulars in approximately equal measure, has certainly spiced things up! Steve will regale of the Team's history and will describe the technology that is necessary to produce a competitive race car. He will explain Red Bull's approach to Formula One and will share details of what goes into getting the Team and its entourage around the globe

While this is a lecture aimed at IET members, I doubt it will be too technical.
