Red Bull Air Race Accommodation

Red Bull Air Race AccommodationThe Red Bull Air Race is held in several different countries around the world throughout each year, as at 2008 fourteen different countries have hosted at least one race. Each race is part of a larger competition known as the Red Bull Air Race World Championship where some of the best pilots in the world compete to gain points in the hope of earning the title for the year. Most of the races are held over a weekend with qualifying on the first day and finals on the second.

The race is an exciting, adrenaline pumping combination of motor racing and aerobatics that began in 2003 with two races, one in Austria and one in Hungary. Quickly evolving, in 2005 the first Red Bull Air Race World Championship was held with ten pilots competing in seven races hosted in seven different countries.

2006 saw the Red Bull Air Race come to Australia for the first time with the deciding race for the year being held over the Swan River in Perth.

Red Bull Air Race Perth 2008

1 - 2 November 2008

The Red Bull Air Race Perth 2008 took place on Saturday, 1 November and Sunday, 2 November over the Swan River. Twelve pilots competed in Perth with Saturday being the qualifying round and finals on the Sunday.

2008 was the third time that the race has come to Australia, and being the conclusion of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship it proved to be an exciting finale. Every move the pilots made was vital towards determining who got the points needed to be crowned the champion for 2008.

The event proved to be very enjoyable with plenty of additional entertainment provided as well as the actual race itself. The race is free to attend and the best vantage point was from Sir James Mitchell Park, South Perth.
