The Red Bull Air Race comes to town again, and is happening above the Swan River in the city on 1 and 2 November 2008.

Qualifying rounds are held on Saturday and the race itself is on Sunday. There’s also plenty of other entertainment throughout both days, with gliders, skydivers and other fly bys.

On Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday you’ll already see the planes flying around for training.

The temporary runway is on Langley Park, and you can do a pit walk there on Saturday between 9.30 and 10.30am.

Viewing the race is free, with best viewing from the South Perth foreshore, Sir James Mitchell park. There will be plenty to see there, including screens and commentary.

There is also ticketed Grandstand seating, see the Red Bull Air Race website for hospitality packages.

See the Red Bull website for further details including the specific program.
