Visit San Diego during the Red Bull Air Races for an unforgettable experience of heart pounding, high flying, daredevil-ish fun. Pilots compete for the championship using their skill, wits and stealth flying machines. Reaching speeds of 300mph or more, each plane navigates a course of pylons over San Diego's Big Bay. The scenic seascape and downtown skyline make this race one of the most colorful competitions in the Red Bull series.
