Red Bull Air Race 2017 - Porto
Porto has hosted the Red Bull Air Race from 2007 through to 2009 and proved hugely popular with the fans as they lined the Douro River to watch the amazing action. It's back in Portugal on 2-3 September – follow the Red Bull Air Race here!
-
It's a 1:08.100 for Q2 so he's laid down two totally consistent times and we look forward to seeing Kopfstein fly tomorrow -
-
-
Martin Sonka: Everything was there in the right moment in FP3 and to replicate it now is the goal. The pressure will be a little higher, but that's racing.
-
-
Canada's Pete McLeod will fly next and after picking up 2 sets of penalties in FP3 we reckon he's been nailing down his race line
-
-
-
180.23kts through the start gate for McLeod and this should be an exciting one!
-
Making light work of this Porto track along the Douro and it's green all the way as he moves well ahead of Kopfstein's time
-
-
-
McLeod will move ahead of Kopfstein – but how much faster?!
-
Q1 for McLeod is 1:07.192 and he hasn't even broken a sweat in the cockpit
-
-
-
And McLeod's second run now... he doesn't need to prove anything here, but it could be a further opportunity to tweak those VTMs
-
-
and he's red against his own first split time, but this is electrifying as he moves into the green for the rest of his run!
-
-
And Q2 is 1:07.270 – the winning combination of an exceptional performance and consistency – we'll be watching McLeod this weekend
-
I would like to know, if it is possible, what are the rules to be a Red Bull Air Racer...is there like a number of hours of flight or anything? Because i'm sure (i don't know) not everyone that says they want to fly one of these planes can do it.

-
Thank you to give us again this race and show to the world our beautiful city! PORTO.
-
Now it's Martin Sonka of the Czech Republic and the fastest pilot in FP3
-
-
-
-
The images you show of my city, Porto, are amazing! What a show you are giving us. Thank You for your help to promote our beautiful city!
-
-
Now for a second go and we need to see Sonka at his most aggressive out there if he wants to smash McLeod's time
-
But it's still red for Sonka and he just can't catch the Canadian! And now Gate 10 is under review
-
-
Bad news for Sonka – 2s added for incorrect level and he records a Q2 run of 1:10.000
-
And now it's Japan's Muroya, followed by standings leader Chambliss
-
Muroya and his team haven't had an easy start to proceedings here in Porto and missed FP1 and 2 due to some unexpected technical issues that required significant mechanical work
-
-
He's only flown the track in today's FP3 session so he's behind the others in terms of track experience
-
-
But nonetheless, the Japanese pilot is having a great 2017 including back to back wins earlier in the season in San Diego and Chiba, Japan
-
There goes the buzzer and it's 2s for incorrect passing of Gate 4 – Q1 for Muroya is 1:09.901 and that net time would have been pretty special
-
-
-
I just watched the FIFA World Cup Qualifying match against Czech Republic and Germany.
-
Second go for Muroya – and he really needs this track time ahead of tomorrow's Round of 14
