Red Bull to promote Star Wars Episode III merchandise

It looks like Red Bull Racing are planning a big advertising special for the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.

In 13 days time they may be taking to the track with the Force (Star Wars - Episode III - The Revenge of the Sith) on their side, combined with the excellent driving talents of the Scottish racer David Coulthard, how can they go wrong?

Red Bull Racing are set to employ a new tactic at the next race in Monaco. Whilst the FIA do have strict rules banning a lot of electronic driver aids, there is currently nothing in the regulations banning the use of “The Force”.

Following on from the Jaguar days when the team collaborated with Arnold Schwarzenegger at Silverstone to promote Terminator 3, and Brad Pitt at Monaco to promote Ocean’s 12, speculation is rife that at Monaco this year Red Bull will join forces with Star Wars.

The car will feature a special “Star Wars Episode III - The Revenge of the Sith” merchandise and stars of the film will be in attendance.

Analysts say its a clear indication that Star Wars has really gone mad with merchandising and advertising.
