Barcelona finale kicks off

September 30.

The Red Bull Air Race Airport at Sabadell, Barcelona was officially opened today in front of a large gathering of Spanish and International press representatives.

The showdown looming between Reigning Champion Hannes Arch and this years Championship leader Paul Bonhomme is the main topic of conversation around RBAR circles here in Barcelona.

Last night two events were held in downtown Barcelona near the race track.

The first was the Pilot activation/autograph session at the beach restaurant "SHOKO".
Enthusiastic Red Bull Air Race fans were able to get up close and talk to the pilots and ask questions of them while getting their autographs.

The second was a party held for departing Teams Dell and Mangold. A traditional Spanish meal was enjoyed with a desert including chocolate pieces with the images of the pilots. A very nice touch to end a great night of comradeship amongst the teams.

Muroya vs Coulthard

September 21 saw a special event at Yoshi's homebase airport Fukushima Sky Park in Fukushima Japan. David Coulthard's Formula 1 car vs Yoshi Muroya's Extra 300S.

We are not sure who won but from the Video and pictures they had a great time showing off their "rides"!!

It was a great opportunity for two World top level motor sports racers to compare notes on their respective race codes and machinery. Yoshi was sorry that he did not have his real race plane there to show off!
