Red Bull Air Race - 2008 season

i thought i would start a thread about this season's Red Bull Air Race, which has just finished it's second race. In front of 63,000 spectators in San Diego (or another name if you are a fan of Anchorman), Paul Bonhomme beat current champion Mike Mangold to win the event and take a lead in the drivers standings. It does seem like the Edge 540 is the best aircraft at the moment.

Latest highlights from the Detroit leg of the 2008 Red Bull Air Race, where Kirby Chambliss took a surprise victory from Paul Bonhomme. There is also quite an interesting feature on the Red Bull site that takes you through the aircraft they fly
