Red Bull Air Race World Championship

Featuring 14 of the best race pilots, among which Nicolas Ivanoff, brand ambassador since 2005, this pure motorsport competition is a visual spectacle unlike any other, combining speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots perform a slalom through a low-level aerial track made of 25 meters-high air-filled pylons.

Forteen pilots are competing in the Master Class category in eight races across the globe for the title of Red Bull Air Race World Champion. The Challenger Cup, with nine pilots, offers young talents the chance to develop their low-altitude flying skills and to experience the thrills of the sport.

The 2017 race calendar will take place in eight cities around the world starting with its first stop in Abu Dhabi on February 10-11, a celebratory event marking the 75th Red Bull Air Race.
