HEAT ON IN DETROIT - Red Bull Air Race News
Pressure is on for the 12 Red Bull Air Race pilots ahead of a reformatted Qualifying and Race Day in Detroit after windswept training sessions left them with precious little practice on the low-altitude course just a few dozen feet above the Detroit River. Gusting winds meant Saturday’s Qualifying session was postponed until Sunday while Friday’s training was also cut short by turbulent weather.

What a race! Detroit was the most exciting race ever! Someone finally beat Bonhomme. The Brit still leads the World Series. But he’s been beaten. You can see the smiles on the faces of about 11 other pilots at the Red Bull Air Race runway. Chambliss shows that Bonhomme CAN be beaten.
