The Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be decided at the final stop in Las Vegas on October 17/18 with Britain’s Paul Bonhomme looking to clinch his third title despite a spirited challenge from Australia’s Matt Hall. 
​

LAS VEGAS, (USA) – Paul Bonhomme and Matt Hall will compete for the Red Bull Air Race World Championship in a winner-takes-all showdown battle in the final race of the 2015 season in Las Vegas on October 17/18. Bonhomme is clinging to a slim eight-point point lead over the hard- charging Australian with 12 points up for grabs for the winner but Hall (59 points) has been more consistent this season and is full of confidence that he can claim the title if Bonhomme (67 points) stumbles in the pressure-packed season finale. 

​“An eight-point buffer is nothing – that could be wiped out instantly,” Bonhomme said after winning the last race in Fort Worth, Texas – his fourth victory in seven races so far this year. This is Bonhomme’s sixth straight championship fight on the final day of the season even though he only has two titles to his name. Bonhomme instead has memories of his leads being wiped out in the final race in both 2007 and 2008 seasons, when Mike Mangold (USA) and then Hannes Arch (AUT) came from behind to snatch away the titles. In 2014 Bonhomme also had a shot to win the championship in the final race but ended up third overall behind Nigel Lamb (GBR) and Arch after getting only fifth in the season finale.
