2011 winner enters this year's Race of Champions
He is a mechanical engineer by day, but when he takes his plane to the sky, he is a super-fast champion pilot. Now the 2011 Race of Champions winner, Rudi Marx from Gauteng, has booked his place in the forthcoming air race event to defend his title from 9 to 11 August 2013.
In The Race of Champions, pilots come together to compete in a two-day handicap event to race each other to the finish line. After three highly competitive events, this year's race looks set to be a tougher challenge than ever before and with a record-breaking sponsorship value for a sports event in the country, former champion Marx is looking to take his Navion H to victory at Ulundi's Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Airport. "I have already entered for this year's race and I am very excited to compete again," Marx said.
The difficulty that the handicap format and use of provided maps only - no GPS or any other modern technology is allowed - offered to the pilots was something that Marx greatly enjoyed. "Winning the Race of Champions meant everything to me - it is any pilot's dream to win such an intensely contested air event," he added.
