Max Verstappen took part in a spectacular Red Bull demonstration on an Austrian ski course earlier this year...

The team will pilot the RB8, which proved all-conquering in 2012, through the Muttrah Corniche - one of the most iconic and historic streets in Muscat. Entrance to event, which takes place at 14.30 local time on 8 April, is free.

Red Bull are no strangers to staging promotional runs around the world. Daniel Ricciardo and Carlos Sainz drove through the heart of Mexico City last year in the build up to F1's first race in Mexico for more than two decades, while Daniil Kvyat starred in a demonstration in his Russian homeland at the end of August.

Earlier this year, the team took it to another level as Max Verstappen took a Red Bull show car for an icy spin on a specially designed section of the legendary Streif ski course in Kitzbuhel, Austria.

The Oman demonstration will be held five days after the second round of this year's championship, the 2016 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, which takes place on 1-3 April. To buy tickets click here.
