| Title: Red Bull Air Race 2008 - Race 7 "Porto" (part 1) |
| Description: |
The Red Bull Air Race World Series features the world’s best pilots in a motor sports competition based on speed, precision and skill. The competition features a dynamic new discipline of flying, called 'air racing' where the objective is to navigate a challenging obstacle course in the sky, in the fastest possible time. Pilots fly individually against the clock and have to complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of specially designed pylons, known as 'air gates'. With just one race to go before the season finale in Australia and with the positions of the top pilots so close, the 7th race of the World Championship took place between the Dom Luis and Arrabida Bridge combined with incredible backdrop of picturesque Ribeira Waterfront. Britain’s Paul Bonhomme is clinging to the slimmest of leads and faces tough competition from Austrian Hannes Arch who is now in second place having claimed his first ever victory at the last race in Budapest. |
