Las Vegas has never been accused of subtlety, and Racing Bulls clearly weren’t about to become the first.

After Williams, Sauber and Alpine revealed their own special designs for next weekend’s neon-drenched Grand Prix, Racing Bulls have stepped up as the fourth team to join the livery parade – this time with a full-on shimmering tribute to the newest Cash App Visa Card: the Holo Card.

The result? A VCARB 02 that looks like it drove straight through a prism. Iridescent colours now illuminate the normally white nose, sidepods, and engine cover of the cars driven by Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson.

It’s the team’s fourth and final one-off look of the 2025 campaign – and fittingly, it might be their boldest.

A Match for Sin City's Energy

The team says the holographic flourish draws on the “bold, high-energy spirit and vibrant nightlife aesthetic” of Las Vegas, a city that lives permanently at full throttle.

Racing Bulls aren’t leaving the effect to the car alone either – the garage, race suits, boots, gloves and even a dedicated show car at Park MGM will all be drenched in the Holo Card’s sparkle.

For CEO Peter Bayer, the final special livery of the year encapsulates what the team has tried to build creatively throughout itscampaign this year.

“This season has really showcased how important special liveries are to our team and to our fans,” he explained. “Each design has become a statement of creativity and expression; from the bold Magenta look in Miami, to our collaborations with Slawn and Shaboozey in Silverstone and Austin.

“We’ve been ferociously creative in the way we bring our partners’ worlds into our own, and we’re grateful for how they’ve embraced that spirit, turning each livery into a full celebration across multiple touch points for everyone to feel connected.

“Finishing the year with this striking Las Vegas design feels like the perfect way to cap off an incredible season of that innovation and collaboration.”

In a city that invented over-the-top, Racing Bulls might have just stolen the show – before the engines have even fired up.

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
