Anyone know what's happening with this? Seems to be taking a break? What's the chances it actually returns?

RedBull Air Race is having a break this year. The global recession had put a pinch on finances. Perth was an "only just" last year... They will return next year (we hope).

It really isn't easy to convince sponsers to put up a $1M for an event like this. Remember, the $1M isn't just sales but profit from the sponsor...
