The Red Bull Air Race is coming back to London on 2 and 3 August. The Air Race is a new, independent racing sport, challenging the ability of the world’s best pilots. It creates a race in the sky that is not simply about speed, but also precision and skill.
London hosted the race for the first time in 2007 and thousands of people lined the River Thames to watch the spectacular.
Five vantage points are reserved for Red Bull air race ticket holders including a public spectator area on the Greenwich Peninsula.
