This air race cannot be a continuation of the Red Bull season

[edit]

This article talks of an air race that leads on from the legacy of the Red Bull Air Race, making it hold the 15 season of the race. However, Red Bull was sanctioned by the FAI (World Air Sport Federation), while as this "Air Race World Championship" is not mentioned anywhere on the FAI website. Instead, the slightly different named "World Championship Air Race", a different organisation, is mentioned on the FAI site as restarting the air race series at an Activation Ceremony held December 2022. Therefore this "Air Race World Championship" seems to be just riding on the closure of the Red Bull Air Race without any official stamp of approval from any officiating body. It can be an air race unto itself, but it can't claim to be continuing on with the Red Bull season without FAI's approval.
