About AIR RACE X
AIR RACE Pilots fly from locations around the world and compete remotely for the best time. The audience can watch pilots' flights from far away up close using augmented reality (AR) technology.
This format is called the "Digital Round" and consists of a six-day qualifying round and a one-day final tournament. In the Digital Round, competition data is generated by collecting and analyzing ultra-high-precision flight data from pilots flying around the world online. The competition data is visualized using AR (augmented reality) technology. On the day of the final, we will offer a new way to enjoy motorsports by watching the pilots' flights in the streets of Shibuya.

About the background and purpose of crowdfunding
While it is difficult to revive air races worldwide due to various world situations, Mr. Yoshihide Muroya said he wants to preserve the wonderful aviation culture and legacy that has been cultivated so far and pass it on to the next generation. The idea for Air Race
Air Race
From the old-fashioned way of watching sports, today, through the power of technology, we can now enjoy sports from all over the world at our fingertips on our TVs, computers, and smartphones. We are launching a crowdfunding campaign with the aim of providing as many people as possible with the world's first Air Race X experience and providing excitement and excitement.
Comment from Japanese pilot Yoshihide Muroya
There are many elements that must be overcome in order to revive the "air race" as it used to be. However, on the other hand, advances in digital technology have made many things that were previously impossible possible.
We decided to start with what we could do while making full use of such technology. I think some of the fans who know about the enthusiasm for Air Race may feel that something is missing, but we understand that and will continue to move forward and steadily build on what we can do now. AIR RACE X will continue to evolve step by step, so we would appreciate your support.
