One of the top comments on this YouTube video from Red Bull reads (sics throughout), "Red Bull isn't an energy drink company. It is a marketing company that owns a energy drink. It all ways has been." And that's just fine with us, so long as the Austrian company continues putting together stunts like this. The idea of pitting a plane against a car is pretty common, and even when using a V8 Supercar and a Red Bull stunt aerobatics plane, it's nothing we haven't seen before. That said, adding a beach on Australia's gorgeous Gold Coast to the equation brings an additional layer of excitement to the car-versus-plane trope.
