The Red Bull Air Race World Championship makes its much anticipated return to Portugal. The World Championship has experienced record growth as a global sport. In 2009, 3.5 million spectators attended the races and over 300 million followed on television. This growth has attracted the attention of many major cities around the world due to the positive impact the race has on community.
Portugal's weather is strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream, giving it one of the mildest climates in Europe. It is sunny throughout the year, with an annual average of 2,900–3,300 hours of sunshine making the Red Bull Air Race event even more enjoyable for everyone involved.
