Red Bull is sending its 2011 championship winning RB7 down under in February where the car will run demo laps of Mount Panorama during the Bathurst 12 Hour weekend in February.
Red Bull has yet to unveil the driver that will conduct the showrun onboard the ex-Sebastian Vettel machine that conquered 11 wins during its banner 2011 season.
While David Coulthard regularly handles demo runs for his former team, local fans will certainly be hoping that readily available Red Bull reserve Daniel Ricciardo is assigned to the gig at Australia's iconic race track.
"Oracle Red Bull Racing are the current Formula 1 world champions – just to have them at the event is a privilege, but to know that the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car will be lapping Mount Panorama will be something else," said Bathurst 12 Hour event director Shane Rudzis.
"This will be a spectacle like nothing we’ve seen at the 12 Hour before and takes the event to an entirely new level.
"This will be the best opportunity in 2023 for Australian F1 fans to get up close and personal with F1 machinery and an even rarer opportunity to see a Formula 1 car lap Mount Panorama."
An F1 car tackling a lap around the mountain wouldn't be a first, as 2009 world champion Jenson Button holds the unofficial lap record at the circuit – a 1m48.8s set in a McLaren MP4-23 in 2011.
The 2023 Bathurst 12 Hour will take place on February 3-5.
