RED BULL AIR RACE: LONDON The Red Bull Air Race is an exciting competition in which the world’s most talented pilots go up against each other in a race based on speed, precision and skill. The competition features a dynamic new discipline of flying called ‘air racing’ where the objective is to navigate a challenging obstacle course in the sky, in the fastest time possible. Pilots fly individually against the clock and have to complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of specially designed pylons called ‘air gates’. See the London stage of an unforgettable race.
The race was conceived in the Red Bull sports think-tank and came from an idea to merge flying with the most exciting elements of motor racing. The aim was to develop a brand new aviation race that would challenge the ability of the world’s best pilots, creating a race in the sky that was not simply about speed, but also skill. The answer was to build a specially designed obstacle course which the pilots would navigate at high speeds.
