Red Bull Air Race World Series - 2008

[JohnBM01]

I'll try to allow discussion for the Red Bull Air Race World Series. It's called the "Formula One of the skies" and takes place in these ten cities this season (visit http://www.redbullairrace.com ):

* Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (April 10 and 11)
* San Diego, California, USA (May 3 and 4)
* Detroit, Michigan, USA (May 31 and June 1)
* Stockholm, Sweden (July 5 and 6)
* Rotterdam, Netherlands (July 19 and 20)
* London, England (August 2 and 3)
* Budapest, Hungary (August 19 and 20)
* Porto, Portugal (September 6 and 7)
* (Spain) (September 27 and 28)
* Perth, Western Australia, Australia (November 1 and 2)

I was browsing some of the pictures of the cities. I must say that Budapest, Porto, and Perth are all beautiful cities by seeing them for the first time in pictures. Anyone want to chat about the Red Bull Air Race World Series?

I saw it when I was in London, pretty cool. I'll be attending the one in Detroit for sure at the end of May.

Since I haven't committed to offering much in the way of discussion on the Red Bull Air Race, I have a lot of YouTube videos to share on the action from this season. All of these videos come from the official YouTube channel of the Red Bull Air Race World Series.


Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates


San Diego, California, USA


Detroit, Michigan, USA


Rotterdam, Netherlands


London, England, United Kingdom


Budapest, Hungary


Porto, Portugal


Perth, Western Australia, Australia (Season Finale)




I tell you. A number of these cities look amazing even with these planes flying around. Budapest and Porto are beautiful cities. Rounds at Stockholm and Valencia were cancelled. I wonder where else would be great to see this action. Cities like Rio de Janerio (or Sao Paulo), Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore, and maybe even Mumbai would be great venues if this series expands.

Just saw the race that was in Utah/Arizona (I think a rerun?). Wow, always dramatic racing with planes. 👍
