The organisers of the Air Race World Championship have announced that the series will not be returning to the skies in 2022, with a statement on their social media channels.
“Despite the tireless efforts and support of all of our race teams, specialist suppliers and partners, some of the challenges presented by COVID and further implications posed by the current global economic situation have simply been too great to overcome.
“The safety of our pilots and fans is paramount and without all of the intricate parts required for safe racing firmly in place we have been forced to make this very difficult decision to cancel the 2022 World Championship Series.
“We remain totally committed as event organisers, competitors and fans of this incredible sport as we now focus on 2023.
“Our thanks go out to fans around the world for their ongoing resilience and support. We’ll be updating on plans and news as it happens – stay tuned.”
