RED BULL AIR RACE ASCOT, RACE DAY

It was another beautiful day in Ascot, perfect for Race Day! Kirby spent his morning preparing for the Round of 14 against England’s local, Nigel Lamb. It was looking good for Kirby after Lamb received a 2-second penalty for flying too high through a gate five. With a clean run, Kirby would progress forward. The team watched anxiously as his sector times remained green, but Kirby finished just .543 seconds behind Lamb after he, too, received a 2-second penalty for flying too high through gate 11.

Kirby and the team have had a tough run this season, but are still moving forward. Talk of plans for airplane modifications have been circling for a while now, and the team is excited to share that those plans have progressed! Although there is still need for further testing, they are hopeful to debut new winglets in Spielberg, Austria, September 5th and 6th.
