Sunday afternoon saw a spectacular show take to Dublin's Quays, as Red Bull F1 team brought their show run to the banks of the River Liffey.

Ex-Red Bull driver David Coulthard was the headline act, with the 13-time Grand Prix winner driving the 2012 Red Bull RB8 F1 car down the streets of Dublin as darkness descended. The RB8 - a world championship winner at the hands of Sebastian Vettel - could be heard echoing across the Liffey, and fans were wowed by the high speeds displayed by Coulthard.

Irishman Conor Shanahan was also part of the show, and his drifting skills were just as spectacular, with immense car control keeping him mere inches away from the barriers. Danish stunt bike rider Mike Jensen rounded off the card, with some physics-defying stunts wrapping up a truly spectacular evening of motorsport.

The stars were out, with rugby players Josh van der Flier and Rory Best in attendance, while Mack Hansen was even brought out in the second seat of Shanahan's car for a terrifying spin down the Quays.

F1 in Dublin - a fantastic sight, and we've compiled the best photos of a memorable evening on the streets of the capital.
