Sadly as with any racing money talks! Air racing in Europe has been more about precision flying and estimated over the line times rather than racing Reno style ! I should know as I was the winner of such a series around a decade ago
But it was not air racing in the true sense. More a precision flying competition,
There was that very tragic accident where many spectators were killed when an aircraft fell into the crowds in true air racing.
Unlike motor racing it is very hard to protect The public without putting them so far from the action that half the spectacle is lost !
It would be interesting to know how they envisage these displays happening while keeping the authorities happy !
I wish them all the luck in bringing a good series together without watering the event down too much
