About this Video: Australian Drew Searle, Aviation Expert at the Perth Red Bull Air Race believes that some subtle changes to last year's track design should make for interesting and unpredictable results. "We're splitting the quadro into two knife-edge gates and adjusting the positions of some of the Air Gates," said Searle. "This should result in a track that's much more about pilot judgement than just pure speed. I'm fully expecting the race to be very exciting in Perth. It's going to be a very difficult, fast, twisting and turning track which will require a refined race line. At this time of year the weather is a big player and winds are certain to affect the track. Taking all this into account, I reckon once again there could be a very interesting set of faces on the podium."
