Red Bull Air Race goes LIVE online

For the first time ever, the Red Bull Air Race will be broadcast live online at http://www.redbullairrace.com/.
The grand finale of the 2008 World Championship in Perth, Australia will be aired on Sunday 2nd November enabling fans to follow all the thrills and excitement in real time. The race will be presented by Nick Fellows and former Red Bull Air Race pilot Frank Versteegh. Those who miss the live webcast will be able to watch the replays afterwards. The Red Bull Air Race is currently broadcast on television stations in over 100 countries worldwide and the online webcast from Perth will provide another means to enjoy the final showdown of the season. “This is one more step towards being able to provide the full Red Bull Air Race live experience and it’s something that our fans around the globe can look forward to in the future”, said Kim Bernhard Head of TV & New Media for Red Bull Air Race.
It has been a spectacular season for the global motorsports competition, which has seen second year sensation Austrian Hannes Arch overtake Britain’s Paul Bonhomme to lead the Red Bull Air Race World Championship going into the final race. Arch needs just one point in Perth to clinch the title but Bonhomme, who had been the hot favourite this year, could still win if he comes first in Perth and Arch finishes with zero points. The Championship is by no means over yet and the heat will be on in Australia.

Time flies

After a very busy and successfull summer 2008, I´d like to thank everyone who supported me, in whatever way, to reach my goals this year. It has been an amaizing year with lots of work, fun and good way of life.





In April I received my brandnew Extra 330SC, the state-of-the-art-aerobatic-machine :-)


It flies....






....and hovers....

...it´s a sexy toy :-)

With my Global Aerobatic Team 2008, I´ve had a great year, great fun and made super friends!From left to right: Pete, Sami, myself, Matt, Yoshi, Trainer Patrick, Manager Birgit :-)


After weeks of training, my first podium for aerobatics in June 2008, 2nd place at the world aerobatics cup in Roudnice, Czech.

In between some trainingcamps two Matthews having a good time flying dream machines!

Me, my daughter and Matt at Tannheim Int´l, hosting Matt´s layover in Europe...

Enroute to Hradeck Kralove for the European Championships 2008, lucky xmas is on board, talking to Matt in JX, who had difficulties understanding :-) :-)



At the European Aerobatic Championships 2008 I placed 19th out of 45 Europeans, reached the Top-50-Percent and the goal. Thanks Patrick and GAT2008, unforgetable moments!
