Infiniti of Kansas City will showcase a 2014 liveried Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One car from 10:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at its dealership at 6960 W. Frontage Rd., near 67th Street and I-35 in Merriam.

This year’s Infiniti Red Bull Racing challenger, the RB10, will be driven by four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel and new driver Daniel Ricciardo, with the aim of winning the team’s fifth consecutive Formula One constructors world title.

Fans can register to win a pair of framed Formula One driver’s gloves signed by Ricciardo and Vettel, and on Saturday they can pose for photos with the car and there will be a complimentary lunch.
