The 2016 Red Bull Air Race of Chiba was the third round of the 2016 Red Bull Air Race World Championship season, the eleventh season of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. [1] The event was held in Chiba, Japan.
The Red Bull Air Race, established in 2003 and created by Red Bull GmbH, is an international series of air races in which competitors have to navigate a challenging obstacle course in the fastest time. Pilots fly individually against the clock and have to complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of pylons, known as "Air Gates".
Japan is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian continent and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea in the south.
Due to the high seas and rough conditions on the racetrack on Saturday, the Race Committee was forced to cancel the Qualifying session of the Master Class. The Round of 14 fixtures were decided by championship position, whilst the Challenger Class race would take place on Sunday.
