Press release by Red Bull Air Race

American Mike Mangold justified his billing as pre-event favorite as he secured his second title in as many weeks at the rain-delayed Zeltweg Red Bull Air Race in Austria on Saturday.

The win followed hard on the heels of his victory in Rotterdam a fortnight ago and moves him clear at the top of the World Series Rankings, ahead of Hungarian Peter Besenyei, who finished second after the race had been delayed for three hours owing to heavy thunderstorms.

Mangold, flying his Edge 540 in front of a crowd in excess of 140,000, finished 8.84 seconds clear of Besenyei while Briton Paul Bonhomme came in third, 11.32 seconds behind the winner.

The victory moved Mike Mangold on to 16 points in the rankings, one ahead of Besenyei, champion here in 2003 when the race was also part of AirPower, one of the premier air shows in Europe.

Briton Steve Jones, who finished fifth in his Extra 300S, lies third in the rankings with 9 points, one clear of American Kirby Chambliss, who had to settle for fourth spot despite lying second after the 1st round.

Mangold set the fastest time in both rounds of what is the third stop of the World Series, taking the lead with a first run of 01:40.49. He set a day’s best in the second round with a time of 01:35.58.
