Atkinson wins Helicopter Race
28 Jul 2010 - Brian Young

Chris Atkinson got his weekend off to a great start by winning outright the "Rally car versus Helicopter Race' held this morning at the Sunshine Coast airport.


Closed for an hour, the airport coordinated a race between a Proton S2000 car and a Robinson R44 and while it was extremely close on both occasions Atkinson was able to cross the line a few metres ahead of the helicopter.


"It was a great way to start our event and I hope we can make it three wins in row, by winning Rally Queensland this weekend" said an elated Atkinson after the race.
