Red Bull x Road & Track

Vol. 28 of Road & Track is all about the outer edge of racing — and what better car to front the issue than the Red Bull RB17, a racing machine that lives at the very limits of technology, innovation, and possibility. In collaboration with photographer Benedict Redgrove, we created the images for the issue's cover story, showcasing the RB17 as a landmark in engineering. 

Carefully considered retouching brings Redgrove’s photography to life, emphasising the high gloss and extreme curvature of the car’s surfaces. To match the RB17’s boldness, we placed it in a fittingly liminal environment: a CG racetrack bordered by frosted glass and a gleaming mirror floor. The scene trails behind the car, intensifying the sense of unbelievable speed as it charges into the future of racing.
