Red Bull Rising

Matt Hall is again flying the flag for Australia in the reborn Red Bull Air Race series

After entering hibernation in 2010, the Red Bull Air Race was set to thaw out in the heat of Abu Dhabi from February 28. Australia’s Matt Hall will once again take to the skies and weave his MXS-R aircraft about the pylons in pursuit of the World Championship. It has been some time coming, but Matt and his team have been hard at work and are now ready to race.

Reinventing the RBAR

When the Red Bull Air Race (RBAR) vanished from the radar over three years ago the silence was deafening. A race series that had captured the world’s imagination was abruptly switched off and left one and all wondering what had happened. There were infrequent press releases that therace would return, but it seemed that the timing was anyone’s guess. The Red Bull had definitely ceased to roar.
