We are pleased to announce that Team FALKEN’s Yoshihide Muroya has won the second race of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship 2019, which was held this past June 15-16 weekend in Kazan, Russia. Having won the first race of the season in Abu Dhabi this February, Mr. Muroya is now two for two this season.

The only pilot from Asia competing in the Master Class at the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, Yoshihide Muroya once again demonstrated his fantastic high-speed, high-precision flying skills from the preliminary heat up through the main event to win his second consecutive race this year. Thanks to his strong performance in last weekend’s race (and his win in Abu Dhabi in February), Mr. Muroya now finds himself in first place overall. With only two more races left in this year’s tournament, we hope that you will continue to watch and cheer him on as he soars toward victory.
