Our Story
The Outback Air Race is a GPS-based navigation time trial throughout the remote Australian outback. In 2018 we hosted almost 100 competitors in 38 aircraft, where pilots were required to nominate an elapsed time between two visual waypoints, receiving points for both time and location accuracy.
The Outback Air Race exists to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Since 1996 competitors and spectators have raised over $2.6 million, with funds from each race going towards outfitting RFDS aircraft with essential medical equipment, vital for treating sick and injured patients.
The Outback Air Race is held every three years with the next event likely to be held in August and/or September 2021.
