Good guys! The Red Bull Air Race Steward team consists of seven officials in total working behind the scenes to monitor various critical sections of the course and make recommendations with the help of the TV images. The officials include: two outside Stewards out on the course, Roman Buehler (Switzerland) and Hans Vogtmann (Germany); the Head Steward Assistant currently assigned by the host country; TV Steward Supporter Falk Kotulla (Germany) and TV Steward Dirk Eckhardt (Germany). Depending on location and race track design there might be even more outside stewards in place. Their recommendations go to Head Steward Stanislav Bajzik (Czech Republic), who also has the authority to request a quick review of any flight path, and ultimately to the Race Director Drew Searle (Australia) or Bernd Piff (Austria), one of whom controls each race. -- About: The Red Bull Air Race World Championship features the world's best pilots in a motorsports competit …...more

Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, Red Bull Air Race pilots navigate a low-level aerial race track made up of air filled pylons, flying at speeds reaching 230mph while withstanding forces of up to 10g. The objective is to complete the course, navigating the 65 feet high specially designed inflatable pylons known as Air Gates in the fastest possible time. Red Bull Air Race pilots must pass between the Air Gates in the correct position taking care not to touch them with their wings. The pilots compete for points at each Red Bull Air Race and the one who accumulates the most at the end of the season is crowned Red Bull Air Race World Champion. » Subscribe to Red Bull Air Race: http://win.gs/SubToAirRace » Go Inside Air Race: http://win.gs/VisitRedBullAirRace » Like on Facebook:   / redbullairrace   » Follow on Twitter:   / redbullairrace
