Two Brands Driven by the Unexpected

BFGoodrich and Red Bull share a belief that the most memorable experiences happen when people are willing to explore new terrain, challenge convention and push beyond what has been done before.

Since the partnership began in 2014, the two brands have collaborated across motorsport, off-road racing, mountain biking, entertainment and unconventional global events.

The relationship has included Red Bull Frozen Rush, Flugtag, Soapbox races, Speed Clash, Rampage, Hardline, the Red Bull Off-Road Junior Team, Dakar-related content and many other activations around the world.

Together, these moments tell a larger story—one that extends beyond a traditional sponsorship and reflects BFGoodrich’s longstanding connection to competition, innovation and adventure.

More Than a Decade of Unforgettable Moments

The BFGoodrich x Red Bull partnership has evolved across sports, countries and environments, but every activation shares the same spirit: bringing ambitious ideas to life.

Whether the challenge takes place on snow, dirt, rock, pavement, water or in the air, BFGoodrich and Red Bull continue to create experiences that put athletes, vehicles and teams in extraordinary situations.

Where It Began: Red Bull Frozen Rush

In 2014, BFGoodrich joined Red Bull Frozen Rush—an event that brought off-road racing to an entirely new environment.

Instead of racing through a traditional desert or short-course track, powerful off-road trucks competed across the snow-covered slopes of a ski resort.

Frozen Rush brought together high-performance vehicles, experienced drivers and demanding winter conditions, creating one of the defining early moments of the BFGoodrich and Red Bull relationship.

A Partnership Without Boundaries

Since Frozen Rush, the partnership has expanded across a wide variety of sports, formats and cultural moments.

Past activations have included:

  • Red Bull Flugtag

  • Red Bull Soapbox races

  • Speed Clash

  • Red Bull Vél’Eau

  • Red Bull Batalla

  • Red Bull Rampage

  • Red Bull Hardline

  • The Red Bull Off-Road Junior Team

  • Dakar Daily

  • The Life of Kai series

  • The Red Bulletin

  • Wake the City

  • Natural ice speed-record attempts

  • Additional motorsport, adventure and cultural events

These activations demonstrate how BFGoodrich and Red Bull can bring the same spirit of exploration and performance into very different environments.

Built on a History of Performance

The BFGoodrich and Red Bull relationship is part of a much broader BFGoodrich history of testing limits through competition and real-world experience.

From racing on pavement to navigating difficult off-road terrain, BFGoodrich has spent decades working alongside drivers, teams and enthusiasts who are constantly looking for the next challenge.

Meet the Athletes Pushing the Partnership Forward

At the center of every event are the people willing to take on the challenge.

BFGoodrich and Red Bull currently share two athletes whose careers reflect the speed, determination and technical skill behind the partnership: Seth Quintero and Christopher Polvoorde.

Seth Quintero

Rally Raid and Off-Road Racing

Seth Quintero has built his career by taking on some of the toughest rally-raid terrain in the world.

After beginning his off-road journey at a young age, Seth quickly established himself as one of the sport’s leading emerging competitors. His combination of speed, confidence and technical understanding continues to make him a driver to watch on the global rally-raid stage.

His story represents the next generation of off-road competition—one shaped by ambition, preparation and the willingness to keep pushing forward.

Red Bull identifies Quintero as a rally-raid competitor who became a world champion at a young age and has continued competing at the highest levels of the discipline.

Christopher Polvoorde

Off-Road and Trophy Truck Racing

Christopher Polvoorde represents a new generation of off-road racers combining raw speed, technical knowledge and a deep connection to the sport.

After beginning his racing career at an early age, Christopher progressed through short-course racing and into Trophy Truck competition. His approach combines competitive performance with an understanding of the preparation, equipment and teamwork needed to succeed across demanding terrain.

In 2026, Christopher joined the BFGoodrich Racing Trophy Truck roster, further strengthening the relationship between BFGoodrich, Red Bull and one of off-road racing’s leading young competitors.
