MIAMI, April 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The sky over Lake Macquarie will soon be filled with some of the world’s best pilots, racing at speeds of over 400 kilometres per hour, and demonstrating serious precision flying thanks to the NSW Government’s Regional Events Acceleration Fund.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Taylor Martin said $2.5 million in funding would allow the Air Race World Championship to host the high-octane aviation event in the Lake Macquarie region, putting the area on the international stage.

“This will be a fantastic event and a great opportunity for locals to get out and see some of the best pilots in the world compete against the clock, racing through inflatable airgates at more than 400 kilometres per hour,” Mr Martin said.

“One of those pilots is the Lake Macquarie local and reigning world champion Matt Hall, who will be competing in front of a home crowd.

“The Air Race series has held 94 races in 21 countries, attracting more than 24 million viewers, and the Lake Macquarie event is expected to attract thousands of spectators and contribute more than $8 million into the local economy.
