Ah, Red Bull; always ready to satisfy the need for more exciting and thrilling videos.

Red Bull Racing Australia has done something pretty amazing – and very entertaining, might we add. Just simply because of the fact that they can, the Red Bull team down under decided to pit one of its acrobatic planes against a V8 supercar.

Beautifully shot on a Gold Coast beach in Australia, the race seems to be pretty close. The beautiful surroundings provide the race with an epic feel – almost like a battle over territory.

The V8 was driven by Red Bull Racing Australia driver, Jamie Whincup. Whincup has already proved to be a force to be reckoned with as he has successfully won four V8 Championships.

The pilot, on the other hand – Joel Haski – is not afraid of the challenge, and is seen bringing his plane dangerously close to the sand a couple of times.

The video also serves as a clever marketing gimmick for the upcoming Gold Coast race of the 2013 V8 Supercar season.

Check out the video below and place your bets – supercar or plane?
