Red Bull took their Kart Fight series to Cardiff this weekend, putting on a fabulous display for motorsport fans in Wales. With Mark Webber and Daniel Ricciardo on hand to show off in both F1 and NASCAR vehicles, plus some karting and stunt plane goodness, there was plenty to entertain the crowds as they lined the streets of Cardiff Bay.

Daniel Ricciardo was behind the wheel of the NASCAR, doing donuts in the middle of the street. Afterwards, he said: "I had a couple of laps just around the circuit, just to give the people a look. Then I came here and did some donuts, got lots of smoke. Lots and lots of smoke, which is good because I was a bit worried. It was raining earlier and I thought we wouldn't get much smoke on the wet asphalt but that definitely wasn't the case."

Winner of the Kart Fight was Bradley Philpot, taking first place in the grand final. He lost a number of places at the start, hit the barriers heavily but battled through the field to take the win. Philpot's prize includes a visit to the Red Bull Racing factory, where he'll gain tips from the insiders there, plus a trip to a Grand Prix later this year.
