The Red Bull Air Race World Championship is the world’s most electrifying, high performance motorsport event. Twelve of the world’s most talented pilots compete against each other in a race based on speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial race track made up of air-fi lled pylons, reaching speeds of 370km per hour withstanding forces of up to 12gs.
Last year’s fi nal in Perth was one of the biggest spectator sporting events in Australian history and this year promises to be no different.New Red Bull Air Race pilot Hannes Arch from Austria has shaken up the pilot hierarchy in just his second season of air racing and is currently leading the Championship. But he still needs to beat his nearest rivals Paul Bonhomme and Kirby Chambliss. It’s shaping up to be an incredible weekend.
