The most highly anticipated stop of the 2016 Red Bull Air Race calendar is this weekend, Oct. 1-2, when the official world championship comes to the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time. The jam-packed weekend of racing action will be a landmark event for the legions of sports fans in the Midwest, for the field of top pilots looking to join Indy’s legendary winners and, especially, for the two men locked in a battle for the overall crown with only two races to go. For Germany’s Matthias Dolderer, who leads the standings, the stakes have never been higher. A victory in Indianapolis would clinch the first world championship of his Red Bull Air Race career – and the first for his nation – but anything less could leave the door open for Australia’s Matt Hall to steal the title when the season concludes two weeks later in Las Vegas. Hall is the only pilot with a chance to catch the German, and the Aussie is on a roll, coming off back-to-back wins. Yet Dolderer hasn’t crumbled, snapping up second place at both of those races. The three North Americans in the lineup also have something to prove. Two-time titleholder Kirby Chambliss of Arizona is one of the favorites for the world championship podium this year, while Michael Goulian of Massachusetts and Pete McLeod of Ontario, Canada, will be eager to shine in what for them is the closest thing to a home race this season. Meanwhile, another proud U.S. native, Kevin Coleman, will be contending in the Challenger Class race for promising young pilots. An official U.S. National Historic Site and the world’s first speedway, the 2.5-mile racetrack known as “The Brickyard” has long been a mecca for motorsports of all kinds. While aviation was part of its heritage from the start – the speedway first opened to the public with balloon races in 1909, and the Wright Brothers headlined an aviation show and competition there in 1910 – the “Racing Capital of the World” has never seen anything like the ultimate motorsport series in the sky, where raceplanes dart around 82-foot pylons at 230 mph.
