Pilots from countries including Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, and the United States will fly two to three meters above the Danube as they vie for this year’s title, the press release said.
Hungary’s Péter Besenyei, who is often called the Godfather of the sport, won the first Red Bull Air Race and first season title in 2003, and he was a significant force in the development of the sport prior to his retirement last year, the press release continued.
