Red Bull Air Racing To Take One-Year Haitus

Break Will Allow Reorganization, Technological Advancements In Aircraft Safety

The racing series which has been touted as being very positive for sport aviation has announced a one-year hiatus while they reorganize and look at safety improvements to the aircraft.

Red Bull Air Race GmbH confirmed that for the future success and development of the sport, the World Championship will take a one-year break in 2011.

The organization says it  will use this opportunity to fast track the technological advancements currently in the making which would further improve the already high levels of safety.

In a statement on their website, Red Bull Air Racing said there is a need to revise the main organization and commercial areas to realize the full potential of the sport including the development and reinforcement of strong host city partnerships which would secure a long term race calendar.

The organization will fly the final race of the 2010 series in Lausitz, Germany August 7th and 8th. Great Britain's Paul Bonhomme leads the series with 53 points, followed by Austria's Hannes Arch and Great Britain's Nigel Lamb. American Kirby Chambliss, who has made several appearances at AirVenture in Oshkosh, is in 4th place in the overall standings.
