Re: Red Bull Air Race - Axed from Perth
I hate to say it but that article is another media bulls up, when I read it I got the same impression as G.
That article imply's it had been axed from Perth only, it wasn't till the 5pm news on triple J that I found out the whole race had been axed

Yep, the entire 2011 season has been pulled, as per this announcement from RBAR.
STATEMENT - World Championship confirms one-year break in 2011
Red Bull Air Race GmbH confirmed that for the future success and development of the sport, the World Championship will take a one-year break in 2011.
The organization will use this opportunity to fast track the technological advancements currently in the making which would further improve the already high levels of safety.
There is a need to revise the main organization and commercial areas to realize the full potential of the sport including the development and reinforcement of strong host city partnerships which would secure a long term race calendar.

Re: Red Bull Air Race - Axed from Perth
Interestingly the linked article from the original post has been heavily edited since the original post was made. The linked page, when originally posted by the West Australian was much smaller. Obviously as more information was forthcoming it was added to the original article. What is now paragraph 13 of the linked article was originally at the top of the article and clearly states the whole event was cancelled; "This morning Tourism WA confirmed that it had been informed that all stages of the global event had been axed for 2011"
It is unfortunate that people put so much faith in online media, when it is clearly the most unreliable of all the forms of media. It is most often published with the emphasis on speed, not accuracy and can be regularly edited and updated. [/rant]
