Silverstone revs up for World Championships
Silverstone will see Britain's finest aerobatic pilots contest the 2008 British National Championship as motor sport moves into a third dimension in the skies over the circuit. The event will run between 15th and 17th September 2008 as a test event in preparation for the 2009 World Aerobatic Championships. Rivalry between the competing pilots will be more intense than ever, as they will be doing battle not only to win the title of British Champion, but also to impress the judges responsible for selecting the team of up to six pilots who will fly for Britain at Silverstone next year. Spectators are welcome, so put the dates in your diary and come to watch these aerial gladiators do battle.

Silverstone to host the next World Aerobatic Championship
Silverstone Circuit will host the next official FAI World Aerobatic Championship in 2009.
This is the first time since 1986 that this most prestigious competition in the world of air sports has been held in the United Kingdom. Flying Aces, the air sports rights management company, in partnership with the British Aerobatic Association, was awarded the rights to the event by the FAI, the world's official air sports federation, by voting ballot on Sunday, beating bids from the United States and Germany. The World Championship, which is held every two years, will take place in August 2009. The event will be televised internationally. The World Aerobatic Championship includes two independent championships: a Classic Championship and a Freestyle Championship.
The best pilots from around the world will be competing over British soil for the top title in air sports. Richard Phillips, Managing Director of Silverstone Circuits Limited, said: Silverstone began its life as an airfield and we are proud to be building upon the venue's heritage by developing another dimension to our portfolio of top international motorsport competition. The World Aerobatic Championships is another example of an elite event that demonstrates Silverstone's leadership in the world of sport and entertainment.
Sponsorship and hospitality packages for this unique event will become available soon. Please contact the organiser, Flying Aces, for more details.
