Red Bull Air Race—The Game Gets Winter Update

[Maura]

​

The incredibly popular Red Bull Air Race game has had a massive winter content update, which features a new location with several courses, a new campaign with new races and events, and new aircraft paint jobs.

Iceland is the new, suitably wintry, location, featuring four new courses, with 60 events to master. If you win match-ups against six pilots from the Red Bull Air Race, you’ll also unlock holiday paint jobs which will only be available until the beginning of January.

Players will also notice changes to how you equip aircraft in the hangar, with the five previously available upgrades now divided into five sub-steps, so that players can, if they so wish, upgrade some mechanisms earlier than previously.

As well as the new holiday paint jobs, the update also introduces the option to paint aircraft in an expanded range of national colours, with the original two of America and Canada being joined by Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Brazil and Japan.

Here are some of the game’s main features:

· The official 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Championship game for iOS and Android

Now I can try all these cool action games with my new iPad air 2. I was always concerned with playing with my iPad 2 and how it would work with the processing speed.

I know what you mean about processing speed. Even when posting here I can see that the new iPad Air 2 is much faster than my iPad 4.

Yes...and can you imagine how the iPad 2 would have performed? I don't think I would've even tried to be honest.
