Red Bull Air Race is coming home for 2014 season final
The 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Championship season final will be staged at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria, on October 25/26. The final race of the season will be held at the F1 circuit in the Styrian mountains.
Eleven years ago the series started with its first race ever in Zeltweg. As a substitution for the race in China not being feasible the Red Bull Air Race will now come home to its origin.
"I think it's really great that the showdown for the 2014 season will be held in Austria," said Pilot Hannes Arch. The Austrian is leading a tight battle for the world championship ahead of defending champion Paul Bonhomme of Britain with Pete McLeod of Canada and Nigel Lamb of Britain close behind. "That corner of the world loves the race. We already saw that in Rovinj in April how many fans the sport has. It would be a dream-come-true for me if I can hold on to win the championship in my home country."
The eight-stop 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Championship began in Abu Dhabi in March with subsequent stops in Rovinj, Croatia in April and Putrajaya, Malaysia in May. The remaining races will be held in Gdynia, Poland (July 26/27), Ascot, United Kingdom (August 16/17), Dallas/Fort Worth, USA (September 6/7), and Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (October 11/12), before the final in Spielberg, Austria, a sensational location for the sport. The Spielberg stop will be the 58th overall Red Bull Air Race, a sport that has been staged in 18 countries since it was launched in 2003.
