Engineered courses
Every race course is engineered using advanced geospatial mapping and predictive simulation software, with flight paths that respect urban boundaries and local topographies.
They are more than the pilots on the start line. They are the founding pilots of the Air Race Championship — the first to take on a new race format, help shape a new championship and define what comes next.
Bringing together experience, precision, speed and a shared passion for racing, these eight pilots are part of Air Race Championship from its very beginning.
The first to race. The first to shape it. The first chapter of Air Race Championship history.
The Air Race Championship race fleet — engineered for speed, precision and safety. Six aircraft, all powered by Lycoming engines.
With its distinctive proportions and proven performance, the Edge became one of the defining aircraft of the modern air-racing era.
Up to 380 HP (V2). A lightweight airframe, a powerful engine and highly responsive controls for the intense demands of air racing.
The V3 refines the airframe — sleeker canopy, refined fairings and improved aerodynamic surfaces reduce drag.
Increased stability and tolerance to high G-loads — built for faster, more efficient competition flying.
Every race begins long before take-off. Aircraft inspection, pilot briefings, course validation, weather monitoring and operational coordination are completed before the flying programme begins.
Each element is reviewed to support consistent technical standards, informed decision-making and the safe delivery of the event.
Every race course is engineered using advanced geospatial mapping and predictive simulation software, with flight paths that respect urban boundaries and local topographies.
Strict regulatory compliance and close collaboration with national and international aviation authorities form the bedrock of ARC’s operational integrity.
Aviation engineers conduct exhaustive diagnostics on every aircraft to ensure compliance with the championship’s performance and safety metrics.
Real-time telemetry, cockpit analytics and sensor technology give the race control centre continuous oversight of every asset in the air.
