Air Race 1 is the top international title in the long-running formula one aircraft class, sanctioned by all three international formula one air racing associations. Up to eight airplanes race against each other simultaneously at speeds of up to 450kph around 5km laps on a circuit just 1.5km end to end – the first one to cross the finish line wins. Formula one airplanes are a specifically defined class which sets strict parameters regarding wing area, engine size and other characteristics of the design.
