I saw it the other day while flipping around.
seriously cool stuff. 13+ Gs, a few feet off the ground, and if you mess up you dont hit a couple cones, hit a tirewall or just bend a little metal. Hell there wont even be enough of you left to get a ride in an ambulance.

I watched it on the plane back from the UK. I thought it was pretty cool but I didn't like how they, at least the coveraging I was watching, would change camera angles every few seconds. It was like thet thought the target demographic didn't have an attention span greater than 5 seconds... and they're prolly right.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

yeah it definately took me half the show to figure out the layout of the course. at least the announcers barked out turn numbers so you could better keep track

That looks really cool!
And here I thought I couldn't get into planes...
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

that's really, really cool! i'd love to see one of those in person. kind of reminds me of jet sprint boats what with how tiny those planes are and how tight the turns get.
