Earlier on Saturday, a MiG-29UB fighter jet, Yak-54 trainer plane, and Extra EA-300L aerobatic plane met their ground vehicle competitors to determine which vehicles were the fastest. The event was sponsored by Audi, which provided the majority of the sports cars for the race.
The competitors raced 3,000 meters on a runway, making a U-turn in the middle of the course. Over the two days, twelve races were held, with each plane participating in four.
The first day of the competition resulted in a 3-3 tie. During the race, the MiG-29UB was disqualified, which might have affected the outcome. The second day of races also resulted in a tie with the same score. This time an Extra EA-300L and an Audi car were disqualified, adding a lot of drama to the challenge.
