Red Bull F1 car goes sky high at Khardung La| Zigwheels.com (http://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/news/red-bull-f1-car-goes-sky-high-at-khardung-la/9896/1)
Red Bull does the unthinkable in a Formula One car once again, taking it to the world's highest motorable road at the Khardung La pass in Kashmir
Red Bull has a habit of doing the outrageous with its past F1 cars, but the mental bunch has really gone and done it now. As a part of the Red Bull Speed Street Leh event, Red Bull driver Neel Jani took a Formula One car to the highest motorable road on the planet at 18,300 feet, to Khardung La. What’s cooler? This was not a record set for posterity where the car was taken off the containers at the top of the pass, and driven a few metres for some pictures. Jani drove the car for a good 40-odd kilometers, climbing from Leh town at 11,000 feet right up to Khardung La.
