It's the Red Bull "race" that I think is totally bogus.

It's a marketing scheme disguised as an "extreme sport".

LOL.... as long as it attracts (and fascinates) ten-thousands of
spectators, it cannot be bogus.

And flying below a 50 ft bridge at a recorded speed of 230 kts is
certainly an extreme sport, in't it? (This stunt was required of ALL
contestants).

Sure - it is a marketing show for Red Bull - but I can imagine much
worse ones.
