The Taiwan Showrun event will take place in the city of Taichung and is scheduled for September 28, during the Asian leg of F1's 2024 calendar.

In addition to general crowd control, the operation will involve specialised teams trained in anti-terrorism and threat management, marking one of the largest security deployments in the city’s history.

The Red Bull Showrun, a major attraction in the world of motorsport, sold out its 30,000 tickets within hours when they were released in August.

The Taiwan event's website claims that Red Bull's 'top drivers' will be present, and Daniel Ricciardo has previously featured in these events as a surprise for his adoring fans.

This is the only Red Bull Showrun in Asia this year to feature F1 cars, raising its profile and drawing attention from motorsport enthusiasts across the continent.
