Mark Webber left Red Bull Racing at the end of the 2013 season to head to the World Endurance Championship with Porsche, but the popular Australian remains part of the Red Bull family. That means a few cool perks of the job, with Webber driving a Porsche 718 RS in the Austrian mountains this week. The car itself has class wins at Le Mans to its name as well as an overall win in the Targa Florio.
