The Red Bull Air Race World Series, established in 2003 and created by Red Bull, is an international series of air races in which competitors have to navigate a challenging obstacle course in the sky in the fastest possible time. Pilots fly individually against the clock and have to complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of specially designed pylons, known as "air gates".
The races are held mainly over water near cities, but also at airfields or natural wonders. They are accompanied by a supporting program of show flights. Races are usually flown on weekends with the first day for qualification then finals the day after. The events generally attract large crowds and are broadcast, both live and taped, in many nations.
At each venue, the top nine places earn World Series points. The air racer with the most points at the end of the series becomes Red Bull Air Race world champion. The 2005, 2006 and 2007 series were won respectively by the American pilots. Here are the champions from each year:
| | 2003 - Peter Besenyei |
| | 2004 - Kirby Chambliss |
| | 2005 - Mike Mangold |
| | 2006 - Kirby Chambliss |
| | 2007 - Mike Mangold |
