The two ex-F1 drivers are in Adelaide as part of the Red Bull-backed F1 show car program, having each cuts laps of the street circuit in V8-powered grand prix cars today.<\/p>\n

This evening they hopped in the passenger seats of the two Triple Eight Camaros, Coulthard riding with Broc Feeney and Speed with Will Brown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was super impressive,\u201d Coulthard told Speedcafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of grip from the car, I could feel that from the passenger seat. Particularly as most of it is mechanical.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very different dynamic experience to the grand prix car. You do not touch the kerb in the F1 car and they muller the kerb.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that means they take such a shallow line. If we took that line we\u2019d be in the wall on the exit, but it\u2019s part of what driving that car is about. Unsurprisingly world class performance, I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all relative to the grip so it doesn\u2019t feel slow. I\u2019m feeling the car \u2013 I don\u2019t have control of it, but I\u2019m feeling it through my arse, I can feel the movement and the sliding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did German touring cars after F1, so I know the experience. But these cars are much more able to hit the kerbs than we could in the DTM, because we had a lot of aero and you had to keep the cars flat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The kerb use was also what got Speed\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awesome, it\u2019s incredible how much kerb the cars can take and it still feels smooth,\u201d said the American.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd obviously the track is incredible, it\u2019s really cool to drive around there. It was really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Bull F1 cars will be in action across the Adelaide Grand Final weekend.<\/p>\n
