What is “AIR RACE X”
ABOUT AIR RACE X
"Trans-dimensional Motorsport" AIR RACE X
AIR RACE X is an aerial motorsport utilizing the latest technologies, where pilots with the world’s best flying skills compete remotely in terms of precision and time in operating race-specialized small aircraft under extreme conditions of up to 400 km/h top speeds and up to 12G of acceleration forces.
Pilots will fly actual racetracks set up at various locations globally, competing for best times in a remote format. This is achievable using precise flight data collected by sensors mounted on their aircraft, accurate to a 3 cm margin of error.
The 2024 series will feature 8 pilots from around the world, with 3 races scheduled: Remote Rounds in May and September, which can be watched via online streaming, and a Digital Round in October, which can be experienced in XR in addition to being online streaming.
This year will be historic, as for the first time, not only will each individual race winner be determined, but the pilot who earns the most points throughout the season will be crowned the Series Champion.
