Allinghi Racing

Here's a fresh idea in the world of Yacht Racing. The Americas cup is a huge event and has been underway in Spain. The Allinghi race team have bought 2 spotter planes (Airborne Trikes with weather stations fitted on the nose of the aircraft)

Think the idea was that they flew ahead & sent weather reports back automatically with custom software (bit like the F1 cars) Unfortunately it didn't give them the advantage that they thought it would, the BMW team won!
