The REBL CUSTMS campaign, meant to celebrate the team’s 20-year journey in Formula 1, had promised fans the opportunity to see their custom design grace the Red Bull RB20 on race day.

At first glance, the campaign seemed like a dream come true for F1 enthusiasts. Fans were invited to join Red Bull’s ‘Paddock’ fan community, submit their livery designs, and stand a chance to win a package that included flights, accommodation, race tickets, and their design on the race car itself.

The competition, which ran from 30 May to 19 June, garnered considerable excitement as five designs made it to the final voting stage.

But then came the rub: paint. In Formula 1, every gram counts. Added paint means added weight, and added weight means lost time on track.

As the team explained in their newsletter ahead of this weekend’s race, it’s a compromise they simply weren’t willing to make.
