WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2015 SPORTS “It feels awesome,” said Hall, who has been on the podi- um in five of six races this year and has come tantalizingly close to his first victory several times with three second- place finishes. “It’s good to get that first win and get that off my back. It’s been a hard day, a very hard day,” he added, referring to the choppy winds that caused a num- ber of upsets in the opening round of 14. Hall even had a pylon hit in the first round but still advanced against Juan Velarde of Spain. “I went for the win in the Final Four, had a clean flight and a good flight.” Racing just meters above the ground at speeds of up to 370 km/h, the 14 pilots from 11 nations faced extraordi- nary challenges on the spectacular Spielberg track, set up on the infield of the Formula One race track. Not only did they have to contend with trees and undulating mountain slopes along with considerable turbulence and gusty winds, they also had to deal with a difficult 61-meter change in elevation that makes the Spielberg stop so chal- lenging for the pilots. Despite getting knocked out in the opening round, Austria’s Hannes Arch, who is third overall with 30 points, still holds the track record time of 55.545 seconds set last year in Qualifying in cooling temperatures in October. The battle for fourth place overall also remained tense after Spielberg ahead of the final two stops in the United States, in Fort Worth, Texas on Sept. 26-27 and Las Vegas on Oct. 17-18. In the Red Bull Air Race, which is the official world championship of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI), the world’s top pilots endure forces of up to 10G as they navigate as precisely as possible through a low-level slalom track marked by 25-metre high air-filled pylons. Results Spielberg: 1. Matt Hall (AUS), 2. Paul Bonhomme (GBR), 3. Kirby Chambliss (USA), 4. Martin Sonka (CZE), 5. Pete McLeod (CAN), 6. Matthias Dolderer (GER), 7. Michael Goulian (USA), 8. Peter Besenyei (HUN), 9. Nicolas Ivanoff (FRA), 10. YoshihideMuroya (JPN), 11. Juan Velarde (ESP), 12. Hannes Arch (AUT), 13. Nigel Lamb (GBR), 14. FranÁois Le Vot (FRA). World Championship standings: 1. Bonhomme 55 points, 2. Hall 50, 3. Arch 30, 4. Sonka 23, 5. McLeod 18, 6. Lamb 17, 7. Dolderer 15, 8. Muroya 11, 9. Ivanoff 11, 10. Goulian 10, 11. Chambliss 9, 12.

Red Bull Air Race World Championship, March 2015
Sport Tim Barnes-Clay gets our engines revving with a Red Bull look at the most thrilling World air race in the world Air Race reated in 2003, and officially the World Championship of air racing since 2005, the Red Bull Air Race is followed by Championship millions of fans across the globe. The fastest motorsport series in the world Cfeatures 14 of the best race pilots in a pure motorsport competition that combines speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial track made up of air-filled pylons 25 meters high. New since 2014 is the Challenger Cup, a competition which enables young talented pilots to work towards gaining entry into the Master Class of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. When the 2015 Red Bull Air Race World Championship kicked off in Abu Dhabi on 13th/14th February, defending champion Nigel Lamb had his work cut out for him. The Brit was pushed to the limits by the 2008 world champion Hannes Arch who finished second overall last year – and the two-time world champion Paul Bonhomme, who won last year’s season opener in Abu Dhabi and was third overall in 2014. 1 waterfrontmagazines.co.uk 2 Sport In what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive fields in the history of the world’s fastest motorsports series, Lamb will also be trying to stay on top of the expanded roster of 14 pilots in the high-speed, low-altitude sport. “Those sudden changes make the track even more difficult for the pilots when they’re flying through it at 370 km/h.” There were five different winners in the eight races last season as the gaps between victory and defeat dwindled to their closest ever, just a mere thousandth of a second separating some heats, and nine of the 12 pilots made it onto the podium at least once.
