The White Bull

Oracle Red Bull Racing ran a white RB21 at Suzuka in 2025, sixty years after Honda won its first Formula 1 race. This is a six chapter scroll story about that car. The circuit it raced on is rendered live in the browser, not filmed.

Three.js r185 is self-hosted behind an import map, the RB21 loads as a Draco compressed model, and Suzuka at night is built from code: grandstand, ferris wheel, city skyline, start lights, sakura drifting through the frame. Lenis drives the scroll, the camera and the car are placed from scroll progress, and a chapter rail tracks position with a live speed readout.

A heavy scene punishes weak hardware, so the resolution scale is a one way ratchet. It steps down when frames slip and latches a ceiling instead of hunting up and down. There is a boot screen with a real load percentage, a fallback path when WebGL is unavailable, and recovery if the graphics context is lost.
