Texas, the ‘Lone Star State, is the second largest in the USA. The enormous geographic area includes the Fort Worth counties, which transformed themselves from a sleepy cattle rearing territory, to a bustling metropolis representing the economic and cultural hub of North Texas.
Everything here is about scale and impact, and the Metroplex area is no exception. It’s one of only twelve American metropolitan areas that boast teams in each of the four major professional sports leagues; NFL, baseball, basketball and the National Hockey League.
And for 2018, the Lone Star State welcomes back the Red Bull Air Race to the Texas Motor Speedway for the third time, this time hosting the final season showdown. The speedway is one of the largest sports stadiums in America and, despite only opening its doors in 1997, has already garnered a reputation as ‘The Great American Speedway’. The 1.5-mile quad-oval superspeedway is famous for entertaining NASCAR fans from across the US. With the venue boasting a crowd capacity of 190,000, the Texas stop is a perfect showcase of the rich sporting culture the area boasts. See the pilots battle for the World Championship podium at the Texas Motor Speedway between 17-18 November.
