The Red Bull Air Race Series resumed in 2014. The 2011-2013 seasons were cancelled by Red Bull for restructuring, and so that new safety measures could be implemented. The series has had as many as 15 pilots competing in up to 10 races per year. The Red Bull Air Races have become one of the largest spectator sports in the world, with hundreds of thousands of fans in attendance. The racecourse features 82-foot-high pylons called Air Gates which the pilots navigate around at high speeds. The race is held on a specially designed obstacle course measuring nearly 4 miles long. In 2003, after two years of planning and development, the first official Red Bull Air Race was held in Zeltweg, Austria. The goal was to develop an air race series that would challenge the ability of the world’s best pilots-creating a race that combined skill with speed and precision. In 2001, the Red Bull company began developing the Red Bull Air Races.
