It will be on eventually. I've watched a few of the races before (on TV). Those dudes are crazy.

I've never heard of one crashing, but I'm sure that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. As Fabrik8 said, they regularly clip the air filled pylons.

The last time I watched the Red Bull air race was in Abu Dhabi, UAE on the Corniche. It was a spectacular sight to see. Those are some very talented pilots. I'll never understand how they pull the 'Gs' they do without 'G' suits and without blacking out.

That's pretty sick. You actually saw it in person? Do they charge entry like other sports or can you just show up to watch?

Yup, I actually saw it in person. It was a great experience to witness too. For some reason, I was unable to take pictures and I'm still pissed off to this day about that. There wasn't a charge because you could witness the event from nearly anywhere. It takes up a lot of room to have a air race, so it's not like you can really control how and where it's viewed from. This is the Corniche where it took place on, unfortunately, it's not the EXACT time the air race was going on.
