Hey all,

Thought you would like to see some pics of the red bull air race from last weekend :D. It was great to be there and what was even better was getting home after the event to see the delayed telecast on TV to give you a pilots view of the manoeuvres! :wave:

As you can see it is a bit difficult capturing the action with a compact camera (really could’ve used a zoom lens!) but some of them turned out ok. Check out the to_drift one…..that plane was taking off with a cross wind and got so sideways that it was pointing its nose at me standing beside the runway while trying to fly straight :dry: !!

Enjoy,

Ant.

That red bull helicopter really hauled ass. The air race was cool but the highlight for me was definately the f/a-18. That thing was soo damn grunty, some guy said something about it having more power than all cars in an f1 race combined.

I got real drunk and real burnt in the sun, its was sweet :wave:

Hmm the "great pics" i took turned out to be not so great. Got some vids but cause of no zoom you really cant see much.

Thanks for the comments guys. Tell me about it boosty....my compact digi has a 5x optical zoom and the above pics were taken with the max zoom....even then they come out pretty small :)

Time to invest in a SLR me thinks :woot:

    • Evening fam, Pretty much what the title asks, I have looked all over and can’t find a proper answer expect one post from almost a decade ago which is vague. ive seen photos and they look pretty much identical, would an r33 GTR N1 reo work on an r32? reason I ask is they are cheaper to buy… $700 compared to 1k+ for an r32 n1 reo
    • Couldn't help myself, had to start putting it together.... It really is a solid bit of kit.  Probably stronger than i would have made it myself to be fair! 🤣🤣 Sweating like a pig after that.  Bloody hot and muggy day today, time for a swim now!
    • Yeah was thinking that. I've had the car go lower idle possibly around 650rpm every once in a long time after pouring fuel and would sound quite rough like a misfire, almost like it's shit fuel or something but who knows.
    • @Wazmond you are correct, my bad, was not my intent    https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.    I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.    I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.    https://gtrfestival.com.au
