Overview
- The free Red Bull Showrun on Saturday packed San Francisco’s Marina with a large crowd that struggled to see the cars, pushing many to climb signs, equipment and private property for a vantage point.
- Attendees described severe bottlenecks at Marina Green and near Fort Mason with limited entry and exit points, gridlocked traffic and some people climbing down onto marina rocks to get out.
- Residents reported post-event trash, damaged plants and some property impacts, along with hundreds of abandoned Lime scooters blocking sidewalks and reports of public urination.
- On-track mishaps included Yuki Tsunoda’s car catching fire during donuts and a separate car striking a barrier and losing a wing, with no driver injuries reported.
- SFPD and the mayor’s office did not provide answers to inquiries, the Fire Department referred questions to organizers, Red Bull did not respond to requests, and the city’s Building Inspection Department reported no formal damage complaints.
