Mike Goulian (USA) about to take off during the final races in the Red Bull Air Race, Ascot, United Kingdom. The Red Bull Air Race features the world’s best race pilots in a pure motorsport competition that combines speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile, lightweight racing planes, pilots hit speeds of 370kmh while enduring forces of up to 10G as they navigate a low-level slalom track marked by 25-meter-high, air-filled pylons. The final race winners were Matt Hall (AUS) who took gold, Matthias Dolderer (GER) who took silver and Hannes Arch (AUT) who took bronze.
