Motorsport - Red Bull Air Race - World Championship - 6th. Tourstop

The fifth round of the Red Bull Air Race might have only just wrapped up, but the racing is stepping up a gear and taking it to the next level with the next stop in Texas, USA on the upcoming weekend.

DALLAS - FT. WORTH (USA) - Texas, known affectionately as the 'Lone Star' state, is the second largest in the USA. The enormous geographic area includes the Dallas-Fort Worth counties, which transformed themselves from a sleepy cattle rearing territory, to a bustling metropolis representing the economic and cultural hub of North Texas. Comfortable entertaining sports fans across the US, the Texas stop of the Red Bull Air Race is sure to attract a large amount of interest and greatly benefit from the rich sporting pedigree the area boasts.

Chambliss installed a brand-new engine just a week before competition began in Gdynia, quickly breaking it in. “We’re not quite there yet – we’ve still got some other things that we need to do in order to make the airplane a little bit faster,” the pilot acknowledges. “But still, I think it helped get us to that fourth place in Poland.”

“My expectations as always are to win,” Chambliss says with determination. “I’m going to try to do my best out here.

Goulian, the 45-year-old from Maynard, Massachusetts, who grew up in an aviation family, knows what it takes to win. He’s one of an elite minority in the world’s fastest motorsport series to have stood on the top step of a podium, in Budapest in 2009. During the five years since, a lot has changed, including strategies, competition rules and even certain standardization requirements for the airplanes themselves. “This is now more than ever a team sport,” Goulian says. “From preparation to simulation and data – it’s not just pitching up with an airplane. It’s a team effort for sure.”
