According to the Red Bull Air Race website, the Red Bull Air Race World Championship features the world’s best race pilots in a pure motor-sport 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.

Red Bull says there are several rules and safety changes compared to the last race three years ago.
