Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The Red Bull Air Race World Championships will not be held in 2012, extending a hiatus that began in 2010.
  • The organization plans to reveal a revamped concept and a fixed race calendar in 2013.
  • The extended break, initially for safety improvements, is unrelated to the recent Reno Air Races accident due to the distinct nature of the two events.

After a one-year hiatus of the Red Bull Air Race World Championships, officials say the much-anticipated event won’t be held in 2012 either.

The organization behind the event called for the one-year break in 2010, citing, among other reasons, the need to “further improve the already high levels of safety” surrounding the Championship. That one-year break will now extend through an additional year at least.
