Breitling to time Red Bull Air Race
Grenchen, Switzerland—Breitling, known for its aviation watches, has signed on as official timekeeper for the Red Bull Air Race World Series for the next three years.
The Red Bull Air Race features an original competition format in which the world’s best pilots will face off during races. Timed individually, each plane completes an obstacle course with turns and dives.
In addition to timing the races, Breitling’s colors will fly with British pilot Nigel Lamb as he navigates his MX2. Nigel heads the Breitling Angels aerobatics team and has spent five seasons with the Breitling Fighters Formation.
The second race of 2007 occurred in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and drew 1 million attendees, making it the largest sports event in the country’s history. Organizers will host 11 races in 2007, with races taking place on every continent.
Breitling has a steep history in the aviation world, including its annual presentation of the “Tomorrow’s Leaders” awards presented during Aviation Week’s Laureate Awards in March.
