RACE RULE

RULE

AIR RACE X is an aerial motorsport utilizing the latest technologies.
Pilots with the world’s best flying skills compete remotely in terms of precision and time in operating race-specialized 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.

Despite being a remote competition, the intense race for 1/1000th of a second developments were made possible by AIR RACE X’s high-precision flight data measurement technology, a unique algorithm that automatically assigns handicap times based on flight location and weather information.
