Red Bull SW Racing Team in Monaco

[Real_Scooby]

As reported yesterday, the Red Bull F1 team, redesigned their cars, with ROTS art for the race.

When I watched the race today, I was pretty surorised when I saw that even the pit crew where redesigned. It was kinda cool to see a set of stormtroopers twiddle areound on an F1 car.

Apparently there were multiple people walking round in costume in the pits all weekend for Red Bull. I only saw a Wookie and what I think was a Stormtrooper (it might have been one of the pit crew though). Kinda a cool way to promote the film.

They had a complete set of a Clone Trooper-like Pitstop crew as well.
And they interview Ian McDirmid and he talked about how excited he is for Coulthard (right?) for being and Irishman as well.


I had to think of Podracing whenever the racers speeded through that tunnel on the track.

George, Hayden, Vader, 3po and R2 where there

(oh yea, Ian and DC are scots)

Don't let them hear you say that, they are both Scottish...

There was also in the run-up to the race, people dressed as C-3PO, Chewbacca and a hoard of Stormtroopers, which I can only guess is part of the Euro 501st.. An R2 unit was also buzzing around..

Anyone ever saw THX-1138 ?

It gives a new meaning to "I think I ran over a Wookiee back there"
