Following the inaugural Red Bull Showrun in San Francisco, Formula 1 and Red Bull Racing will bring the high-speed demonstration to downtown Phoenix on March 14, 2026. The free public event on Jefferson Street outside the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks stadiums marks F1's return to the city after more than three decades.
The streets of downtown Phoenix will roar with Formula 1 engines as Red Bull Racing hosts the Showrun on Jefferson Street, directly outside the Suns and Diamondbacks arenas. This showcase of high-performance cars comes 35 years after Phoenix's last F1 Grand Prix in 1991 and the inaugural race in 1989, won by Alain Prost.
Amid F1's growing U.S. popularity—fueled by events like the Las Vegas Grand Prix—the Phoenix demo offers free, up-close access to the sport's thunderous engines, bridging excitement with local basketball and baseball fans. Red Bull cars have already appeared outside the arenas during recent games to build hype.
Images from recent races show drivers like Max Verstappen in Las Vegas and Montreal, and Yuki Tsunoda in Vegas—evoking the awe of 13,000 RPM speeds against a urban stadium backdrop. Like the San Francisco debut, this event underscores F1's strategy of immersive urban experiences to expand its American audience.
