Story highlights Red Bull took to the streets of New York state for a promotional video

Formula One will take place in New Jersey next year with the inaugural Grand Prix of America

The last American F1 race was in 2007, with Lewis Hamilton taking the checkered flag

Austin, Texas will make its F1 debut later this year, with United States Grand Prix

Formula One isn't due to touch down in New Jersey until the inaugural Grand Prix of America next year, but it didn't stop the Red Bull team from heading over early to unleash a car on some well-known landmarks.

The double constructors' champions let former Red Bull driver David Coulthard take the title-winning RB7 for a rip-roaring tear through the Lincoln Tunnel at speeds of up to 190 miles per hour, before heading over to Liberty State Park, with the famous statue looking on across the Hudson River.

It was Red Bull's second visit this year, after double world champion Sebastian Vettel tested out the New Jersey race circuit.

The U.S. is already on the this year's F1 calendar. Austin, Texas is to make its debut as a grand prix host in November, as the elite division of motorsport returns to the country for the first time since 2007.
