The fastest motorsport in the world, Red Bull Air Race, returns to Ascot, the world’s most famous racecourse on 15 to 16 August 2015, for the UK leg of the World Championship.
Now in its tenth year, the World Championship has become known globally as the fastest and most exhilarating motorsport series in the world. The race will see the pilots skilfully manoeuver the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes around a predefined, low-level aerial racetrack of air-filled pylons (Air Gates) in the fastest time with the least number of penalties.
The sport’s 14 best pilots are taking part in the Red Bull Air Race World Championships which includes current world champion Nigel Lamb, one of the most accomplished and respected pilots in the history of Air Race and British Airways Pilot, Paul Bonhomme, the only pilot to have raced in all 58 races since 2003. Last year saw Nigel Lamb triumph as the Red Bull Air Race World Champion and this year Paul is on route to take the title as he currently leads the competition with 34 points.
Over 50,000 people descended on Ascot to watch the Air Race last year and this year it’s expected to be an even bigger spectacle, when the UK’s pilots return to their home country to compete for the Red Bull Air Race World Championships.
We’re giving you and three friends a chance to come to Ascot and witness the spectacle first hand on Sunday 16 August. You will be given access to the grandstand where you will have some of the best seats in the house, to enjoy the exciting atmosphere at this great event.
