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.
Red Bull Cancels Air Race Series
Key Takeaways:
- The Red Bull Air Race World Championship, which began in 2003, will conclude after the 2019 season due to its inability to attract the same broad interest as other Red Bull events.
- As a result, the event scheduled for October at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been canceled, and ticket holders will receive refunds.
- The series featured pilots competing in timed events by flying precise lines through challenging pylon courses globally, with the final races set for Russia, Hungary, and Japan.
