  • 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.
