Yoshihide Yoshi Muroya of Japan is the first Asian pilot in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship but the ambitious rookie from Fukushima wants to be known for more than just that by the end of his first season. Muroya, one of four rookies in 2009, has set his targets high finishing in the top eight twice and scoring at least eight championship points, a tall order considering last years rookie Glen Dell of South Africa did not score a single point. Even if Muroya falls short of what would be a record start for a rookie, he is optimistic his participation in the championship will ignite interest in the sport across Asia. Flying an Edge 540, Muroya will certainly have one of the most powerful machines in the race, a blindingly fast plane on straight out-and-back tracks.

About: The Red Bull Air Race World Championship features the world's best pilots in a motorsports competition based on speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, Red Bull Air Race pilots navigate a low-level aerial race track made up of air filled pylons, flying at speeds reaching 230mph while withstanding forces of up to 10g. The objective is to complete the course, navigating the 65 feet high specially designed inflatable pylons known as Air Gates in the fastest possible time. Red Bull Air Race pilots must pass between the Air Gates in the correct position taking care not to touch them with their wings. The pilots compete for points at each Red Bull Air Race and the one who accumulates the most at the end of the season is crowned Red Bull Air Race World Champion.
