Are you next going to demand that all the Reno racers slow down? Then the Red Bull racers?

Just an FYI.  Red Bull racers are very highly restricted and policed when it comes to aerodynamic loading of their aircraft.  They have tightly controlled restrictions on air speed upon entering the race circuit and they have absolute and tightly controlled G-limits throughout the race.  If they exceed any of these limits they are DQ'd and the aircraft is required to undergo an inspection.  Each aircraft is equipment with telemetry so whenever the aircraft exceeds its g-limit, even by 0.1 G, race officials immediately pull the aircraft out of the race.
Their flying might seem a little insane, but they have zero tolerance when it comes to exceeding design limit of the aircraft.
