  • 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.

  • Red Bull Air Race World Championship Returns in 2014
    Red Bull Air Race World Championship returns in 2014 The Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be back in the skies in February 2014 with a full seven-race World Championship staged in 6 countries on 3 continents including the UK. The return of the world’s fastest motorsport series was announced at a news conference at the Putrajaya Maritime Centre in Malaysia today. PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia), October 8th 2013. “We’re delighted to announce that the new Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be launched on February 28th in Abu Dhabi (UAE),” said Erich Wolf, CEO Red Bull Air Race GmbH. “We’ve all worked very hard over the last three years fine-tuning some of the safety aspects to bring the sport to a new level. We never took our eye off the target and neither have these fantastic pilots or the great fans around the world. Their interest in the sport remained unbelievably high during these past few years. We can’t wait to get back in the air in February 2014.” The fourth stop on the 2014 calendar brings the Championship to Ascot Racecourse (UK). Charles Barnett, CEO Ascot said, “The Red Bull Air Race World Championship, like Ascot, is a respected global brand and showcases elite pilots to a worldwide audience. This is a tremendously important announcement for us as this is by far the most significant event outside Horse Racing that we have staged at the racecourse. The UK has a reputation as a leader in staging major sports events – the recent Olympic Games, of course, and high profile annual events such as Wimbledon, The Open Championship and, of course, Royal Ascot.

  • FALKEN Extends Partnership with the Red Bull Air Race Team
    FALKEN extends partnership with the Red Bull Air Race Team Tyre company Falken will extend its sponsorship of Red Bull Air Race pilot Yoshihide Muroya into 2016. Muroya will enter the Master Class of the 2016 Red Bull Air Race Championship, representing Team Falken for the second season in the world’s fastest form of motorsports. The Red Bull Air Race World Championship features top international pilots flying at speeds of up to 370 km/h through a slalom course of “air gates” – 25m high air-filled pylons.

The race is officially recognised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (World Air Sports Federation). The talented Yoshihide “Yoshi” Muroya is an outstanding aerobatics pilot who has already honed his skills in numerous races throughout the world. Muroya scooped two podiums in 2015 to finish sixth overall in the Master Class category of last year’s Red Bull Air Race. “We are consistently continuing to invest in the Falken brand and enhance its emotional appeal. The Red Bull Air Race is the epitome of high- tech, inspiration and performance – and these are the core values of the Falken brand. Our partnership with Yoshihide Muroya and his team in their Falken-branded aircraft turns the spotlight on our brand as an integral part of events,” enthuses Stephan Cimbal, Head of Marketing at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH. “At the same time, we are generating extensive media reach in this very technology and lifestyle-focused environment, including Red Bull’s own media channels.
