“We are very excited to renew our involvement with the Red Bull Air Race,” said Todd Simmons, Executive Vice President Sales, Marketing and Customer Support at Cirrus Aircraft. “This Championship is one of the most exciting sporting events in the world. The passion, energy and excitement at these races is something that every Cirrus owner dreams about. We’re very proud to be a part of it, to bring the series to Cirrus owners and customers in a unique way and to expand our support of Michael Goulianand his team.”

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be back with a full eight-race World Championship staged in seven countries on three continents. The first race will take place in Abu Dhabi February 28 and March 1.

“Having Cirrus Aircraft as a partner is tremendous for us,” said Michael Goulian. “Cirrus is a very strong supporter of our Cirrus flight training center, Executive Flyers Aviation, in Boston, MA. I fly a Cirrus for my personal and business travel as well and have grown to admire its safety systems and performance. The innovation speaks to the company’s commitment to aviation. Having Cirrus be a part of our air race team is a perfect fit for us, for Cirrus Aircraft and for the Red Bull Air Race.”

Cirrus will support Team Goulian for all eight races in the 2014 series and is planning to have a high profile presence at race events in Ascot, England; Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas; Las Vegas, Nev.; and the last race of the year in the Peoples Republic of China.
