San Francisco’s Marina Boulevard was turned into a demo racetrack Saturday as a Formula 1 car and other vehicles raced along the waterfront for a brief eight-tenths-of-a-mile stretch, drawing around 50,000 spectators who reportedly trashed the Marina District on their way out.As KRON4 reports, the Red Bull-sponsored Formula One demonstration took over the Marina District Saturday afternoon for San Francisco's first such event of its kind. Around 50,000 fans reportedly showed up to watch the spectacle, which featured a branded Ford Raptor T1+ rally racer, a multi-million dollar F1 car, and other high-performance vehicles speeding along the short stretch of Marina Boulevard between Buchanan and Baker streets, which was closed to traffic from 3 am to 10 pm Saturday, as SFGate reported. KTVU spoke to some of the spectators. "A bunch of drivers were doing crazy things like wheelies and driving with their feet off and standing up," said Avi Singh of San Jose. "I love it. I think it's fun to have so many people around. People are excited. It's bringing people from all across the city and the Bay Area," said Stephanie Lo of San Francisco. As SFGate reported, Red Bull’s test and reserve driver, Yuki Tsunoda (featured in the below clip) of Netflix’s Drive to Survive fame, took part in the event, along with local driver Scott Speed, off-road racer Mitch Guthrie, and freestyle motocross rider Aaron Colton.

A couple spectators reportedly felt the impact, including a girl who can be seen with a small cut on her knee in the clip. Additionally, per KTVU, Tsonoda’s car caught fire during the grand finale, but he was uninjured.Naturally, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie declared on social media he had good time at the event. “Maybe one of my most thrilling events as mayor was driving down Marina Green for the Red Bull Showrun,” Lurie said. “It was an incredible event that brought 50,000 people to our waterfront—and our city showed out. The energy in our city was on full display. Let’s go, San Francisco!”As the SF Standard reports, the aftermath of the event was perhaps even more of a spectacle. The neighborhood group chat was reportedly lighting up residents’ phones with ongoing reports detailing the chaos, including piles of litter, broken windows, smashed planters, attempted break-ins, and public urination.“It was chaos,” Patrick Souris told the Standard. “It was terrible.”Neighbors also noted the lack of police presence, and the officers in attendance were reportedly “just sitting there chilling.”The Standard is reportedly still waiting for comment from the event’s organizers. The San Francisco Police Department said its Northern Police District Station did respond to calls Saturday, but no further details were provided.Image: Oracle Red Bull Racing/Facebook ...read more read less
