The smoke shows path of flight so that after they have moved away from the position the judges can see the exact flight that they're taking. Basically the same thing skywriters use
Eh what kind of pilot license is required to participate in this race. Is it requires a commercial pilot license, private pilot license or a simple microlight or light sports license? Just asking?
That's a more complicated answer than you might think by virtue they are professional pilots they automatically require a commercial license even though, at least in North America, you or I can fly their identical planes legally with a private license and a high performance endorsement even the aerobatics - just not for money and no aerobatics at that low height without a permit. Their aircraft in unmodified state are commercially available Aerobatic laws are different across the world but don't necessarily require a special license or training unless flying with passengers of course airspace restrictions do apply
In order to qualify for the Redbull Air Race Series Innorder to qualify to compete in the series a pilot must at minimum have a commercial pilot license, be an active air show pilot, and pass the Redbull Air Race pilot school. At the end of that if they pass then the pilot can compete in the series. I don’t remember if there is a minimum hour requirement but I would not be surprised if there was one
All the other rules were explained well, so I'm just curious -- what's the reason for the smoke-on requirement? Is it related to safety? how?

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

When do the tickets for Las Vegas go on sale? I'm going to drive from Michigan again this year to see it.
What about flying too low? Do you get disqualified or two second penalty?
the water will decide what penalty ull have

What's the music soundtrack
The over G rule kind of confuses me, like do they have a set G limit on certain maneuvers
Yeah they have a limit, mainly for safety. If you overdo a turn, you risk your life, and you may damage your aircraft from the g force.
It so hard rules make it more
underweight?
Too light
Well I guess you could add detatchable some rocket assists to compensate for light weight upon starting :3
You can't be ascending or descending when you go through some gates- there must be some margin of error.
Nope that's why it's precision flying
Why is a spoke on thing A RULE? You need your engine to get HOT for the spoke to get on.
