Massive crowds 135,000 spectators lined both banks of the Danube, with thousands of Czech fansamong them watched ecstatically as Martin Šonka took his first "MASTER" win of the season. France had much to celebrate on Sunday as well, when young Frenchman Mika Brageot earned his careerfirst race podium in second, and in third place, Matt Hall of Australia tightened his grip on the top of the World Championship standings. Unfortunately, Pete McLeod from Canada was disqualified for pulling to many G's during his first round in the race. The race consists of two different classes: Challenger Cup and of the MASTER. The Challenger Cup was set up for the new and less experienced pilots, who by winning the year long series of races have a chance to move up to the MASTER class. To entertain the crowds before the race started there was an air show which included flyby of Hungarian Air Force's MI‐8 Helicopter, two JAS39 Grippen, Airbus A319 and C‐17 Globemaster III, severalaircraft owned by the Red Bull such as the B‐25, T‐28, Alphajet, and of course flying demo by Péter Besenyei.
