My Take
Matthias Dolderer lives the kind of life that makes me grin. Born in Ochsenhausen, Germany in 1970, he is both an aircraft pilot and a racing driver, and in 2016 he won the Red Bull Air Race world championship, a sport where you thread aircraft through pylons at terrifying speed inches off disaster. A man who chases maximum velocity on the ground and in the sky is, to me, devotion to speed made flesh. That he reached the very top in his forties speaks to nerve and accumulated craft. In a discipline that punishes the smallest error, his composure is genuinely thrilling to me.
Overview
Matthias Dolderer (born 15 September 1970 in Ochsenhausen, Baden Württemberg) is a German professional race pilot. He is the 2016 champion of the Red Bull Air Race.
