For a heart-pounding, on-the-edge-of-your seat adrenalin rush, the Red Bull Air Race Championship series was hard to beat. Outside the aviation community, however, the races failed to attract the same level of interest as other Red Bull events. For this reason, Red Bull announced on Wednesday that its Air Race World Championship that began in 2003 will not continue after 2019.
