I took quite a lot of shots while I was there. If you ever get a race come somewhere near your city during next years series you should definately go!

(These are all reduced or extracted images btw, if you want the full, or want to see more, just PM me)

For those who are interested, the course consisted of a chicane, followed by a flat then the pilots had to roll to get through the quad pylons. They then had to do a full turn to come around at a perpendicular angle to what they were at before, go through the quad pylons again and then do a loop (going upside down), they then had to fly through another set of double pylons and come for a second run through the course, then finish by crossing the finishing pylons. More simply explained in this diagram.

I'll see if a mate of mine wants the HiRes pics - good shots btw - he has taped evey single race and was almost thinking of going down to Perth for the race. And we were in the middle of exams.
