Redbull Air Race

A free event for the entire family, the Red Bull Air Race will see South Perth buzz with activity, with six huge screens ensuring people feel part of the action. Highlights from the previous races and interviews with the pilots will be screened, and race commentary, music and entertainment will ensure the race is an event not to be missed.

The Air Race will take place between 11.30am and 2.00pm, however please note there will probably be some delays when it comes to leaving the event as we are expecting quite a large number of spectators to attend.

The Perth leg of the air race is the last of nine races that have been held in various international destinations including; Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, Berlin, Istanbul, Budapest, Longleat, and San Francisco.

The Red Bull Air Race is a high performance aviation sport, which sees the world's greatest pilots fly between a series of 20 metre high inflatable pylons, known as air gates, in a predetermined sequence in the fastest possible time.

The racetrack extends between the Narrows Bridge and the Causeway. The best vantage point will be from Sir James Mitchell Park, South Perth.

In celebration of the Red Bull Air Race World Series coming to Australia, Perth will host an Air Festival from Friday 17 November through to Sunday 19 November, which will include spectacular aircraft displays both on the ground and in the air.

The aerial displays will include a variety of flyovers and aerobatic displays on Friday and Saturday with the main activity occurring on Sunday 19 November before and after the Red Bull Air Race.

An on-ground aviation display will be located on Sir James Mitchell Park, near Coode Street, for all three days. The display area will include aircraft, flight simulators and a Pilot and Air Race exhibition.

Langley Park will be transformed into an airport for the duration of the event. On the morning of Sunday 19 November, Langley Park will host a free Paddock Walk from 8.30am. Members of the public will have a chance to meet the pilots and get autographs.

A detailed schedule of Air Festival activities will be available soon. All Festival information will be posted on the local event website www.redbullairrace.westernaustralia.com as it becomes available.

There will be public service areas located throughout Sir James Mitchell Park during the event - selling food, drinks and merchandise (please note the event is an alcohol free event). You can also purchase official Red Bull Air Race merchandise online at www.redbullairrace.com

If you have any more queries, please call the Red Bull Air Race information line on 1800 881 223.

We look forward to seeing you at the Red Bull Air Race in November!
