If you can’t ride the lows, then you don’t deserve the highs
The 2018 Red Bull Air Race World Championship season has been nothing short of a rollercoaster for our team. We began the year in Abu Dhabi with a heavy race plane, yet still netted a solid fifth place. Then we scored back-to-back wins in France and Japan with an improved and slightly lighter paint job on the plane.
From there it was third in Hungary, then seventh in Russia – and this one hurt. We had what we think was the fastest plane, but a pylon hit cruelled our chances in the Round of 8… But that’s racing, and you move on.
