Air Race E will be a similar format to the sport known as ‘formula one pylon air racing’ where the world’s best race pilots compete simultaneously to be the first one to cross the finish line.

Eight airplanes race directly against each other at speeds of over 400kph (280mph) around a tight circuit just 1.5km end-to-end.

There are no time trials and planes race against each other for 4 laps of 5km each, the first one to cross the finish line wins.

Bringing together many thousands of spectators and attracting a global potential audience of 340 million sports fans, host cities have a unique opportunity to bring this global event to their city.
