World Championship Air Race was developed in 2003* and accredited by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) in 2006. As the most advanced aerial challenge in existence, the event involves competitors navigating a challenging obstacle course within the fastest time. Pilots fly individually and complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of pylons, known as "Air Gates." Flying just meters from the ground, they race against the clock whilst reaching speeds of up to 370 km/h, requiring a combination of precision and skill unmatched in the world of aviation. Pilots must be in peak physical condition as they endure forces up to 10G while navigating the technical racetracks made up of air-filled pylons.

Each World Championship Air Race series comprises a number of air races held in major cities around the world. Since 2003, this international event has taken place in a total of 35 cities with 94 races completed, including some of the world's most beautiful destinations such as the thriving Abu Dhabi (UAE), the picturesque Cannes (France), the vibrant seashore of Chiba (Japan), the beautiful Danube River in Budapest (Hungary), the charming Wiener Neustadt (Austria), and the iconic birthplaces of motorsports – Indianapolis (USA) and Fort Worth, Texas (USA). The races were broadcasted on TV in 186 regions around the world and attracted 280 million supporters worldwide.

Leung, Chairman of the World Championship Air Race, said, "Due to the global epidemic situation, the World Championship Air Race has been suspended for three years, and we are delighted to announce the relaunch of this once most popular flying sport event in 2023. We are working with teams in Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, Europe, and Oceania regions, and are in the final stages of discussions. We will soon be announcing all the cities for the 2023-24 Race Series."

Mr. Samson Lee, founder and CEO of Coinstreet, commented, "Not only do we now have Web 3.0, but NFT has also developed from game-based items - 1.0 - to digital art - 2.0 - to now being a multi-purpose decentralized application that is adopted and used by brands, enterprises, financial institutions, public organizations, and governments - NFT 3.0. We fully support the strategic cooperation between the World Championship Air Race, iSHANG, and Coinstreet. We believe that the NFT 3.0 model can help bring World Championship Air Race to the metaverse and Web 3.0 space, expand new marketing opportunities and open up new target customer groups."
