New format enhances wingsuit race

The Red Bull World Wingsuit League Grand Prix, which was launched in China in 2012, will see some changes in the 2014 edition from Oct 14-19, making the aerial competition more spectacular and thrilling.

This year's race will again be held in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province; the mountain range that inspired the 'Floating Mountains of Pandora' in the blockbuster US film Avatar.

The top 10 finishers from the preliminary round will join last year's best six wingsuit pilots in a series of one-on-one showdowns in the final round.
