The Red Bull Air Race, started since 2003, is an annual international series of air race event organized by Red Bull in which competitors have to navigate a challenging obstacle course in the fastest time. Pilots fly individually against the clock and have to complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of pylons, known as "Air Gates".
The races are held across several countries mainly over water near cities, but are also held at airfields or natural wonders.
The following images are from the event held in Perth, Australia. Hannes Arch of Austria won the Red Bull Air Race on Sunday with Matt Hall of Australia getting a career-best second place in front of an enormous crowd of 140,000 watching from the banks of the Swan River in Perth, Australia.
