This type of air racing is commonly refered to as "Pylon" racing. Not much room for error, if you make one you usually don't get the chance to make another!....:eek:

Do you know the last thing that goes through their mind if they hit a pylon?

This is a bit different to the original pylon races which were like speedway, just going round and round the pylons...
Here the pylons are light rubber that just shreds on impact... how woosy is that?
