Air racing???
AIR RACING
It's a series held by Red Bull (the Red Bull Air Races, creatively) in which they set up a track for small racing planes to run timed. It's like Nascar but far less southern, almost never held in the states, less crashing, and PLANES. They call it the fastest motor sport on planet earth.
I quite enjoy it ^_^ There aren't any races happening right now, as far as I know, but I've been watching the recent finals. It's really entertaining, though the coverage isn't as good as other sporting events, probably because it's done by an energy drink company and is still somewhat new.
