Red Bull Air Race World Championship 2010 New York Report

An unfortunate run of bad luck has forced Team Muroya to drop out of the New York race. After an earlier mishap in Windsor that saw Team Muroya having to hurriedly prepare another aircraft to compete in, pilot Yoshi Muroya chose to stay in Windsor with the new plane to get as much practice in as possible prior to flying the plane to New Jersey for the New York round.

Bad weather then forced a difficult ferry flight in marginal weather requiring him to turn back twice. Muroya suffered the misfortune of clipping the propeller while landing at the Race Airport in New Jersey.

Without enough time to complete repairs prior to the New York race, Muroya took the decision to retire from the round, regroup and assess the problems of the last two weeks - and work towards a strong comeback in the European rounds of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship 2010.

Team Muroya expressed its apologies to supporters and fans for the disappointment and inconvenience caused in the Windsor and New York rounds.

 The team looks forward to their continued support going in to the European stage of the World Championship.
