With only 5 World Championship points so far, Chambliss prepares for the seventh stop of the season at Las Vegas Speedway in the USA this weekend andhe has one overriding objective: win.

On the other hand, american pilot Michael Goulian, who celebrated his birthday during the last stop at Dallas-Fort Worth (USA) one month ago, took his first solo flight exactly 30 years ago and he never could have imagined that one day he’d be competing in the high-speed, low-altitude action of the world’s fastest motorsport series. But today, he’s not only one of the 12 elite pilots in the battle for the World Championship, but one of the few ever to have stood at the top of an event podium: that was in 2009, and he’s been eager to climb back up there ever since - so far this season, bad luck and airplane issues have kept the hard-working pilot from achieving that goal!
“It’s nice to be in your home country,” says Goulian, who makes his home in Maynard, Massachusetts. “We’re doing a full attack from the very start in Training to find out where the limit is, and then try to go for it every day. We’ve done a lot of preparation for this race because we want to do really well, so I’m very optimistic that we will have a good result.”
