RED BULL AIRRACE

I am a very keen Red Bull fan and got this snip from their website

"A brand new pilot joins the elite group competing in this year's Red Bull Air Race World Series. Glen Dell, from South Africa has been eager to be part of what has become one of the world’s most popular aviation races ever since he first heard about it more than five years ago. 45-year-old Dell, who has been flying planes and helicopters professionally for three decades, said he can still remember his excitement when he first learned about the Red Bull Air Race, then in the development stages.
“The Red Bull Air Race always had the potential to be an incredible spectator sport, especially with the modern filming technologies available”, said Dell. “It was great to see some forward-thinking people were making the concept work.”
Dell, who won the Aerobatic World Championship title in Sweden in 2004 as well as 20 titles at South African championships between 1985 and 2005, has been eager to break into the Red Bull Air Race for years. He passed the rigorous tests at the rookie camp in 2006, convincing the panel that he had the necessary skills and commitment. External factors, however, prevented him from taking up his place in 2007. Dell says he’s eager to make up for lost time."


I am looking forward to the first race of the season

I missed the last race of the season - has anyone taped it?
