Air Race World Championships

The Red Bull Air Race features the world's best racing pilots in a pure motorsport competition that combines speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile, lightweight race planes, pilots hit speeds of 370kmh ( 230 mph ) while enduring forces of up to 12G as they navigate a low level slalom track marked by 25-metre-high, air-filled pylons.

Devised by the Red Bull sports think-tank, the initial goal was to create the most advanced aerial challenge the world had ever seen; what has evolved into the Red Bull Air Race we know today has far exceeded any original expectations.

It is a visual spectacle unlike any other. A combination of high speed, low altitude and extreme maneuverability make it only accessible to the world's most exceptional pilots.
