World Sky Race 2010

The World Sky Race is an historic tour and competition of lighter-than-air skyships racing 30,000 miles. In sixteen back-to-back races that completely span the globe, the winner will be crowned World Sky Champion. In their quest, the competing skyships will travel from the Greenwich Prime Meridian southward to Africa and the Middle East, across the Indian Ocean to Equatorial Asia and through the Orient, island hop across the Pacific to the western shores of North America, down to Central America, up to the North Atlantic and crossing back to Prime Meridian for an exciting finish in an historic race, completing a full global circumnavigation. The World Sky Race will be the largest man-made event seen by live spectators in the history of the human race.

How lovely! I'm not much into sports, but this is one sport I could sink my fangs into.

Sky racing anyone?
