SIngapore is Gonna try to Host..................

[xdangoyx]

The Red Bull Air Race by 2010....... THis I got to watch by hook or by crook................

The likely staging ground would be the Marina Bay area...

Imagine Flying overhead up to 370km/h at low level while performing heart-stopping precision aerobatics...

v cool indeed..

reminded me of a game i used to play

[Sunstorm]

Oh how exciting.

When is this going to happen?

First F1 then motogp then this then youth olympics.

Not bad, Singapore! You're gonna have good news to drown out the bad, just in time for General Elections.

[Ghostfit]

These things happens only when 'pple dare to dream !!!

I salute the guys who make it happen ! ...I'm sure that at the beginning, there are at least 10+ 'losers' who told you that it "couldn't be done" or it's "impossible".

Have a good laugh at them now !!!

[Sunstorm]

Wonder where would the air race be held?

Marine Barrage area? (wow!)

This aint RC anymore, man!

I'll camp on sheares bridge to watch it...

I just missed the event by 1 day at Perth... my tour there ended about 8 hours before the race started....

[Jack_Chen]

they sure have a few aces up their sleeve, if they sign up a motorboat race then it's truly Land , Air, Sea.

On the other hand, they can do a RC Air Race too.

WTF...they dun even allow us to fly RC planes/helis at so many sites now....what makes them wanna host air races suddenly?

Not scared they'll crash into HDB flats & buildings?

Singapore hosted the F1 Powerboat Worlds before...with the Air Race really Land Air Sea liaoz.

And really if mechanical failure *touchwood* and flies into the skyscrappers how?

Soon we will see on the new like what americans saw on the news in 2001

[JieZ]

Isnt Tuas a better place?

These are professionally crack pilots you know…

Comparing to the other venues where the race was hosted, this could be one of the most challenging course. Imagine stall turn or half qubon 8 with the waterfront as background, inverted flight through the shears bridge, consecutive circles in the bay …

it is always a challenge for races to be held in Singapore. Remember the F1 race challenge when the drivers said the roads r narrow n bumpy?

And when there's any mechanical failure on their planes, they'll blame Singapore for being too near the equator.....that the gravity is a bit more than elsewhere in the world...and that the heat is too much for the planes and pilots to handle....

Then they'll blame the Singapore flyer for unnecessary distractions, Changi Airport for not accomodating to their flight sorties because they're too busy dealing with commercial liners, and PLAB don't wanna host them because of security reasons....

What's new....
