Q: Can boats or ferries cross the flight box during the Red Bull Air Race?
A: No. To guarantee the safety of the planes and all water traffic, we have to close the area
around the race course. From Wednesday, September 19th to Saturday, September 22nd, there will
be no passing on the Big Bay of San Diego within the following timeslots:
Wednesday, September 19th: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Thursday, September 20th: 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM & 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM
Friday, September 21st: 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM & 11:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Saturday, September 22nd: 11:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Sunday*, September 23rd: 11:00 AM – 5:30 PM (*Only if Saturday is cancelled due to bad weather)
Q: Will there be a TV-broadcast of the Red Bull Air Race stop in San Diego?
A: Yes. The race will be shown on over 90 TV-stations in more than 80 countries all over the
world and has more than 750 hours in TV per stop. In the USA the Red Bull Air Race World Series
will be fully broadcasted on Fox Sports Net on Sunday, 11/11/07 at 6:00pm, on Monday, 11/12/07
at 3:00pm and on Wednesday, 11/14/07 at 4:00pm (within each local time zone).
Q: If I want to view the race events from my boat, where is the best place to view the race?
Do I still need to buy tickets to the race?
A: There are generally two areas that recreational boaters will be allowed to view the race. There
will be one section along the north perimeter of the Flight Box, and one along the south. The Coast
Guard will establish the minimum safe distance for boaters. Boaters must follow all guidelines of
the Coast Guard and remain clear of the Flight Box and approach lines of the race planes to
guarantee the safety of the planes and all water traffic. Please follow the directions of the harbor
patrol! Boaters may listen to event audio by tuning their radios to a local frequency, which will
provide live broadcasting at no fees.
Some stuff I found doing a Google Search:
Red Bull Racing Event Freq.
136.70 Red Bull Racing
All pilots use the same radio frequency during the race,” Jeff said.
“This allows the referee to speak to them if necessary, and also allows the pilots to ‘trash-talk’ the opposition!”
