Three Pilots Join as New Ambassadors


Air racing is an exhilarating aerial sport. The demanding race, requiring speed and precision as pilots navigate a 6-kilometer course in approximately one minute, captivates audiences worldwide. Hamilton has been the Official Timekeeper for the "Red Bull Air Race World Championship" since 2017, supporting events held across the globe.

In addition to Nicolas Ivanoff from France, who has been a Hamilton ambassador since 2005, three new pilots are joining as Hamilton ambassadors: Pete McLeod from Canada, Juan Velarde from Spain, and Dario Costa from Italy. Their performances are highly anticipated at the Chiba event in Makuhari on Saturday, May 26th and Sunday, May 27th.
