Wings Around the Globe

Not to be confused with the book.

Wings Around the Globe, or the WATG Rally, is a air racing competition that uses competitors from all around the world. It is broadcast on the Racing Sports Network, with Brent Mustangburger as the host and announcer. The competing planes fly around the world for around 80 hours, over three continents, two oceans and dozens of countries, but only six stops.
