I do not recall anyone posting about this, but for those who do not know, Redbull has a world race series, called the Redbull Air race (before you get confused, this is not the flugtag race).

link.

From the About Page:

"The Red Bull Air Race is an exciting competition in which the world’s most talented pilots are up against each other in a race based on speed, precision and skill. The competition features a dynamic new discipline of flying, called ‘air racing’ where the objective is to navigate a challenging race course in the sky, in the fastest possible time. Flying individually against the clock, the pilots have to execute tight turns through a slalom course consisting of specially designed pylons, known as ‘Air Gates’. They compete in knockout rounds with the two fastest pilots going head to head in the final.

The first World Series kicked off in 2005, taking place in seven venues across the world with ten internationally acclaimed pilots competing. Eleven pilots took part in eight races in the 2006 World Series where American, Kirby Chambliss was crowned World Champion at the final in Perth, Australia. This year, the 2006 competitors will be joined by two new pilots and thirteen pilots will take to the skies in ten races worldwide."

The next race is in London, and it seems the first race was in Abudhabi, so someone must have posted about it and I missed it! Dammit!

Based on above information, I nominate Team Imperial27 , especially their pilot, or should I say diver, to join the 2008 race.

This race reminds me of the famous Van Halen Song, and of course, here is the youtube video, which has one of the best intro. music of all time (very 80s).
