Yoshide Muroya pictured at the Red Bull Air Race at Ascot Now in its tenth year, the international series of races have become known globally as the fastest and most exhilarating motorsport series in the world. The race will see the pilots navigate around air-filled pylons on an aerial racetrack with the fastest time and least number of penalties being the winner. 14 pilots are taking part in the Red Bull Air Race World Championships which includes Nigel Lamb from Oxford and former British Airways Pilot Paul Bonhomme from Cambridge, both representing the UK. Last year saw Nigel Lamb take the title as the Red Bull Air Race World Champion and this year Paul is on route to be crowned champion as he currently leads with 34 points. Over 50,000 people descend on Ascot to watch the Air Race last year and this year expected to be an even bigger spectacle, when the pilots return to their home country to compete for the championship.
