HUNGARIAN ACE FALLS FROM TOP 3 FOR FIRST TIME
Peter Besenyei epitomizes the ups and downs in the Red Bull Air Race over the last four years more than any other pilot in the World Championship. The 52-year-old, a national hero in Hungary, is the only pilot to finish in the top three in three straight years – from 2005 to 2007. But the steady increase in competition in the World Championship suddenly turned ferocious in 2008 with more pilots crowding into the top with the help of technology and flying breakthroughs as well as faster planes.
