Pilots must be in peak physical condition as they endure forces up to 10G while navigating the technical racetracks made up of air-filled pylons.

Each World Championship Air Race series comprises a number of air races held in major cities around the world. Since 2003, this international event has taken place in a total of 35 cities with 94 races completed, including some of the world's most beautiful destinations such as the thriving Abu Dhabi (UAE), the picturesque Cannes (France), the vibrant seashore of Chiba (Japan), the beautiful Danube River in Budapest (Hungary), the charming Wiener Neustadt (Austria), and the iconic birthplaces of motorsports – Indianapolis (USA) and Fort Worth, Texas (USA).
