The extremely popular Sky Grand Prix of Aerobatics will return to the skies of Durban on 28 May at Greyville Race Course.
This event goes beyond any other aviation event that has been staged in Durban or South Africa. Spectators can look forward to the thrilling sounds and aerobatics of these flying machines as they execute their maneuvers with speed and fine precision.
This event is unique and unlike other aviation events as it’s not happening at an airport, but in the skies above Greyville Race Course and Royal Durban Golf Course.
The Sky Grand Prix will see over 10 thousand people descending on Greyville Race Course to enjoy top class aerobatic racing, fly pasts and other festivities that organisers are planning for the day.
The Sky Grand Prix of Aerobatics is a competition which will see 10 experienced aerobatic pilots compete against each other. The competition requires these ‘gladiators of the sky’ to perform breath-taking maneuvers using 25 metre pylons as markers.
These pylons will be placed strategically on the golf course and the pilot’s technical maneuvers will be analysed by a panel of SAC judges and will ultimately result in a champion being crowned.
The race course will be the central arena from which the spectators will have a prime view of the competition.
