At the COPA! The girl from Ipanema goes walking.....

 But for us serious air racers it is time to get down to business and today the Race Airport was officially opened by Red Bull Air Race GMBH CEO Bernd Loidl. The Race Airport is on regional airport and calibration flights got under way after a small delay. However, just before Yoshi was about to taxi out a time out has been called and we are "waiting for updates".
Hopefully the flying in and out of this busy airport will go smoother when full training in the track starts tomorrow.

Perth Report and Result

The final race for Red Bull Air Race World Championship 2010 was held in Perth Australia today, Hannes Arch has won the Perth round of the championship followed by local hero Matt Hall just 0.48 seconds behind him.

Yoshihide Muroya progressed through the Wild Card session today, taking 1st place to move into the Top 12.
His Top 12 round time of 1.32.43 including a marginal 2 seconds penalty put him in 9th position, not quite good enough to move on to the next round.

But, he was able to fly his plane close to its best time, and looking on the positive side said, “I have found a big key point concerning flying style from this race and will review it and prepare for the next round in Rio”.

Perth Race Runway is open!

Despite some inclement weather in the area, the Race Runway was officially opened at Perth today. You definitely know you are in Australia when there is a Koala and a Kangaroo at a ceremony such as this!

The pilots were all presented wth a Boomerang as a momento of the Perth race and many were soon out on the runway trying to make them fly and come back! Perhaps due to the quality of the gift, many were quite successful!
