Victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!

For the seventh stop of the championship, the Red Bull Air Race took place in Indianapolis at the famous Motor Speedway on October 6-7, 2018.

Home of the Indianapolis 500, this setup suited perfectly Canadian pilot and Hamilton ambassador Pete McLeod as he raced to second place for the first time of the season.

Currently in 6th position in the general ranking, he will be aiming for another podium for the great season finale in Dallas, Texas on November 17-18.

A Hamilton ambassador since the beginning of the year, the Canadian has been on the Air Race circuit for nine years and – for him – flying is all about feel: His instincts and intuition helped him to four podium finishes in 2017. His style is exhilarating and he’s guaranteed to hold nothing back as he races against the clock.

Even after so many hours in the cockpit, Pete is still fascinated by aviation. Asked what advice he would give to young pilots he says “Never stop learning, exploring and take the time to enjoy every flight. Human flight truly is amazing!”.

Pete’s choice is the Khaki X-Wind Day Date Auto. Reliability and readability are guaranteed when he takes a reassuring glance mid-flight.
