Video: Red Bull's Air Race Back In Budapest, 4 - 5 July
The Air Race World Championship, sponsored by Red Bull, makes a welcome return to the Hungarian capital this year. Back in 2009, when the last such event took place in Budapest, over 650,000 spectators lined the banks of the Danube.

Organisers say, "The most historic city on the tour, the stunning buildings of the Hungarian capital city make for an incredible backdrop, while the numerous bridges that span the event's Danube river course will provide one of the toughest tests of flying technique the pilots will face all year."

The racetrack in Budapest will span the Danube, making it one of the most unique stops on the calendar. Pilots will fly along the river, navigating the complex aerial course where speed will be a key factor in race success.
