Caught that last night , Wanaka - The way the weather is here in Christchurch, I surely hope there is a break down that neck of the woods, I've been to two shows were the weather really made it a downer ... frankly fingers crossed for all down there.

Returning as the season opening round in 2014, Abu Dhabi takes its Red Bull Air Race hosting to new heights with the destination having much more to see and do than ever before.

They did a similar race with Britten - a Pitts and a MD500 up and down the Wanaka track ... I mean runway .. very sure the New Zealand home built motorbike bet them both.
