New Race Format for 2015 Red Bull Air Race Season

Thursday, February 11, 2016 Red Bull Air Race

The 2015 Red Bull Air Race World Championship season kicks off with a new set of rules to shake things up a bit. There are now 2 knockout rounds in the first race day, where pilots will race in a head-to-head dual to decide who gets to fly in the round of 8. The 7 winners and fastest loser from the qualifiers get a chance to fly another day. More knockout stages means every maneuver is critical in order to make it to the final round of 4. This new format is bound to shake up results, and keep fans on their toes as the best pilots duke it out for the championship.
