***Spoilers*** 2008 Red Bull Air Race - Round 8, Perth [November 1-2]

I believe this is the first thread on the craziest form of motorsport known to humanity ...

I doubt if there is that much interest here, but who knows. Mods, as it doesn't involve cars you may wish to move it to Parc Ferme, but as it's within my loose definition of motorsport I stuck it here

[Next at time of posting]Sunday's racing will be livestreamed from 3:55 AM to 6:30 AM London time for the nocturnal community. Article here no idea on URL. Hmmm ... If I get up to watch this, then watch the Superleague Formula and the F1 ... Now that's what I call a bizzare sleep pattern.

However, they say it should be available for six hours afterwards. From the start or from the beginning?

Channel4 will be showing it the Saturday after the event. Of course, some of the repeats and garbage at the middle of the night on a weekday is more important - who wants Dougie Anderson anyhow. And no, you can't get rid of Nick Fellowes (what happened to Steve Parrish doing it?).

Enough inane ranting, it's Hannes Arch's to lose after that G-limit nonsense looks like it may have destroyed Paul Bonhomme's chances this year - or will it strike again?

Revised since original post

I caught some of the championship a while back on Speed. I knew about it, thanks to the SEAT Sponsorship, never watched it before. Butt I found my self strangley addicted.

' Bloody hell, if its got an engine, you've got to watch it'

Well, it's in the drifting section as it's intended as a "Motorsport AOB" forum. I guess one of them would be quite a good idea ... not everything with an engine that can be raced has wheels

Imagine combining drifting and the Red Bull Air Race at the same time and place

Interesting that we already have a thread with 82 posts on the Red Bull Air races in parc ferme ,but we never got further than discussing how to get there.

There's just been a documentry about Nicolas Ivanov and the Red Bull Air Race on Motors TV. It was very interesting but I found myself swaying from side to side in my armchair during the in flight shots

Thank you for confirming that I'm not the only person that does that ... doesn't make me look like less of an eejit.

It would be nice if there was a dedicated "Fast Stuff with No Wheels" forum, but I guess that it would be like a ghost down.

Moderators, could Post 1 be edited to include This Link as it's where the webstream will be? It's not nice to have these things not clear :P

Yes I think it would be a bit quiet, but feel free to keep posting those threads in here. If we get enough then it may be possible to either change the name of this section or eventually even get a section of it's own. After all there are plenty of them about, Powerboats, Jet Boats, Jet Skis, Hovercraft, Snomobiles etc etc

I don't think there is any need to place it into post 1. After all everybody who has already read post one would miss it anyway
But to make sure it get's noticed I'll do this
