Fourteen pilots are competing in the Master Class category in eight races across the globe for the title of 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Champion. The objective is to navigate an aerial racetrack featuring air-filled pylons in the fastest possible time, incurring as few penalties as possible.

For this San Diego stop, the track will be set up over the water in San Diego Bay. Spectators can take in the high-speed, low-flying action from the North or South Embarcadero Marina Parks. The parks run along the San Diego harbor on the east side of San Diego Bay, on property administered by the Port of San Diego. San Diego hasn’t hosted a Red Bull Air Race since 2009.
