Third Training Red Bull Air Race Porto is Cancelled

RBAR_FogFromRed Bull Air Race: we’re sorry to inform you that we won’t be able to conduct training sessions today. Training 1 and 2 have been cancelled, training 3 is postponed until tomorrow 10 a.m. More updates to come later. Apologies!

The start is not possible due to fog in the holding area just before the start&finish gate. They try it again tomorrow 10 a.m. with 3 minutes box time for each pilot. You might ask yourself why they shift start time by 45 minutes. Bear in mind, each start trial has implications for the whole crew: bridge and river has to be closed. Rescue, Airgator and TV crew have to get ready etc. That being said, getting up and running can take up to 45-60 minutes.
