Doug Ireland Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 What happened to the London fixture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 They probably dropped it because the weather has been so bad both times its been there. Shame there are less races this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Towell Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Went and watched them in London last year, and the practice day was the better day to watch as they all had a couple of goes each very inpresive. If anyone ever gets the chance to watch it then go its well worth it. Edited By Dave Towell on 24/03/2009 18:09:11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hickman Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Fingers crossed that Channel 4 do broadcast the series, and that we do get a UK fixture. I know the weather was poor last year but it was still a great day out! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 i don't know wether you've noticed but the race schedule this year is finalised and there's no UK race. i hope someone else broadcast it as C4 seem to like cramming the program with rubbish presentors, celebs no ones ever heard of who don't know anything about RBAR and loads of pointless adverts. You hardly get to see any of the race! It would be better in my opinion for them to make a full video available from www.redbullairrace.com like the Perth final last year.

Roger Auker Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Living in Dubai it is easy for me and some friends to get down to Abu Dhabi. We have done this for the past 3 years and really exciting to watch. Will not be able to attend next month as heading off to Thailand for a friend's wedding. Can you imagine tellng the wife, "sorry dear, can't go to the wedding and the short holiday planned as have to go to the Red Bull Air Races instead !! " Not good for matrimonial harmony, oh well, it will be on TV at some stage. Similar to Dave's comments above, a "must see at some stage".

Jonathan Lewzey Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 and there's loads more scheduled programmes than the rubbish ch4 service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Think of how much better it would be if it was on BBC, proper adverts telling you its on, no adverts to spoil it, its like the F1 now has returned to BBC, it isn't quite as boring now that it doesn't have an ad break every 5 minutes. The only reason i have seen previous air races is like all the 4 yo re-runs on the unknown channels getting into the 300s on sky!

Olly Giles Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I went to see it in budapest last year and i can honestly say it was the best spectacle i have ever seen. If you get the chance go and see a race its truly exclent. Try and coencide your holiday with a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Pollard Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 A couple of years ago I went to Longleat with the grandkids in the caravan. Didnt realise the Red Bull Air Race was being held there on the saturday. The site warden advised me to stop an extra night and go home on the sunday. He was dead right as the crowds didnt finish leaving until after midnight. The sad part about the story is that we watched them practicing ever day and when race day came they had to cancel it due to the bad weather. Tipical british weather Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah i saw the advert, although they arent very bright, because they are actually using a 2ch 27mhz tranmitter on the advert, how many aerobatic 4ch planes do you see being controlled by one of them?
