\u201cWe are very excited to renew our involvement with the Red Bull Air Race,\u201d said Todd Simmons, Executive Vice President Sales, Marketing and Customer Support at Cirrus Aircraft. \u201cThis 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\u2019re 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 Goulian and his team.\u201d

\nThe Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be back in the skies in February 2014 with a full eight-race World Championship staged in seven countries on three continents. The return of the world’s fastest motor sport series was announced last October. The first race will take place in Abu Dhabi February 28 and March 1.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving Cirrus Aircraft as a partner is tremendous for us,\u201d said Michael Goulian. \u201cCirrus is a very strong supporter of our Cirrus 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\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
