Venues can now bid to host Air Race E series

Every aspect of aviation is looking at reducing, if not eliminating, emissions.  No surprises that the spectator-driven Air Racing is ahead of the curve in making it happen.  Air Race E is a revolutionary form of Air Racing as we know it with the first ever all-electric airplane race. The future of aviation is in green energy and Air Race E are setting the marker for future developments in electric aviation with a world first airplane race never seen before. 8 planes race wingtip-to-wingtip in pure exhilarating action around an oval circuit. The spectacular, quick, action-packed race will see speeds of 400 km/h (250 mph) around a tight circuit just 1.5km end-to-end.

Air Race E, the global air racing series, is pleased to announce the official bidding process for destinations and venues interested in hosting races during the inaugural Air Race E series scheduled for 2022.

In addition to races in the inaugural series, interested parties can also apply to host qualification events which will act as showcase test events to demonstrate the sport and provide additional exposure for the host venue.

Air Race E founder and CEO Jeff Zaltman said: “This is an important milestone for us and we’re confident the locations we choose will be the perfect destinations for such a moment in history. We’re excited to reveal more and we encourage anyone interested in being a part of the future of electric mobility and green motorsport to get in touch.”

Official Founding Partner Airbus will be one of the main sponsors of the highly anticipated first event as part of its existing agreement signed at the inception of Air Race E in February 2019. The organiser has since entered discussions with a number of other partners looking to get behind the hallmark event in aviation, having recently announced Ansys as its Official Simulation Software Partner.

The bidding process is being managed by Quantum Consultancy, in partnership with Air Race E. If you are interested in hosting an Air Race E event, or wish to receive further information, please contact us at: hosting@airracee.com
