A Red Bull Ampol Mustang promotional car was found parked in a ditch off the Gold Coast’s M1 Motorway early this morning, according to photos shared on social media. The bright racing paint made the vehicle stand out amid the surrounding traffic. Red Bull Ampol Racing confirmed no one was injured and declined to give further details.
Used by Sales Team
The Mustang belongs to Red Bull and was being used by its sales team, a common practice for major Supercars sponsors who keep road cars in racing colours for promotion. These vehicles travel between events to generate media coverage and showcase the brand to the public. The car was part of the team’s promotional fleet.
The incident happened near the M1’s Yatala North exit, close to the bases of the Dick Johnson Racing and Matt Stone Racing squads. Triple Eight’s headquarters are in Banyo, Brisbane’s north, and the Supercars Championship will arrive on the Gold Coast next week for the opening Finals Series round, drawing fans to the circuit.
