Red Bull Lingotto

Last year, Red Bull held a special race in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Italy's unification, and the 65th anniversary of Vespa. The event had multiple stages and challenges including a timed tire change and riding up the spiralling ramps to the roof of the Lingotto building, an old Fiat factory in Torino, in exactly 90 seconds, no more, no less. Once on the rooftop track competitors raced two laps; with the winner being the one with the two closest times for each lap. The amazing rooftop track was built to test the original Fiat cars.
