Electric flying car race league finalizes its international roster of pilots.

The Airspeeder electric flying car racing series has finalized its roster of pilots for its inaugural international competition. The London-based organization announced Patrick Lombardi will pilot for Team Italia and Dan Miles will pilot for Team GBR, joining previously named pilots from Australia, New Zealand, and a DeLorean-sponsored team. This completes the five-team lineup for the series, which is set to begin with a private race in Adelaide, Australia.

Airspeeder frames this as the next evolution of motorsport, pitting national teams against each other in full-scale, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles. The pilots, many with backgrounds in FPV drone racing and extreme sports, will be tasked with mastering a new form of high-speed, three-dimensional racing. The completion of the pilot roster adds a human, competitive element to the long-gestating project, giving fans specific teams and athlete stories to follow as the series finally gets off the ground.
