ABU DHABI // Motorists are being warned of road closures around the Corniche Breakwater as the Red Bull Air Race returns to the capital.
The Breakwater will be closed in both directions from 7am to 7pm on Friday and Saturday, organisers said on Thursday.
The adrenaline-packed event, on Abu Dhabi’s Corniche from March 11 to 12, is the start of the championship’s 2016 season, which takes place in eight destinations.
Jim DiMatteo, race director, had earlier said they anticipate nice weather and expect to have a normal race.
In this weekend’s race, 14 pilots will compete against the clock by weaving their stunt planes through a slalom course of 25-metre high floating pylons.
