Countless American stars have flocked to Cannes, France, every year to receive awards and be honored at the famed film festival in the resort city on the French Riviera. As the Red Bull Air Race World Championship flies into France for the first time this weekend at Cannes, another American – pilot Michael Goulian – hopes to continue racking up awards of another kind – a second winner’s trophy this season. Goulian, from Plymouth, Massachusetts, won the season-opening race Feb. 3 in Abu Dhabi to take the lead in the elite Master Class of the world’s most prestigious air racing championship. It was his second career victory and first since 2009 in Budapest, Hungary. Round 2 takes place Friday through Sunday over the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea in Cannes. Round 7 takes place Oct. 6-7 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While Goulian will try to stay atop the standings at Cannes, the series’ first event in France will serve as a showcase for five French pilots. Nicolas Ivanoff, Francois Le Vot and Mika Brageot will represent their homeland in the Master Class, while the Challenger Class features French pilots Melanie Astles and Baptiste Vignes. Astles became the first female winner in the series when she won the Challenger Class last October at IMS. There will be plenty of competition from pilots from other nations, too. Reigning World Champion and 2017 Indianapolis winner Yoshihide Muroya of Japan finished runner-up to Goulian at Abu Dhabi. American and two-time series champion Kirby Chambliss finished third at Abu Dhabi and should be among the contenders for victory this weekend. American Kevin Coleman finished third in the Challenger Class – the final training series before reaching the Master Class – at Abu Dhabi. Coleman is seeking his third career victory, as he won as a rookie in 2016 at Ascot, England, and won last season at Porto, Portugal. NBCSN will televise highlights of the Cannes race at 11:30 p.m. (ET) Monday, April 23. The Red Bull Air Race is the new dimension of motorsport, putting speed, precision and breathtaking flying skills in the spotlight at Cannes. In the Master Class, 14 of the world’s best pilots compete for the official World Championship recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. Flying against the clock through a racetrack of 82-foot-high pylons in cutting-edge race planes, they will reach speeds of 230 mph while enduring forces of up to 12G.
