The Red Bull Air Race World Championship will return to Forth Worth for the final round of the 2018 series on 17-18 November
Organisers announced overnight that the vacant eighth round would be run over the Texas Motor Speedway, which last saw RBAR action in 2015.
"The people of Fort Worth have been wonderful hosts in the past, and we're delighted to be able to shine a global spotlight on the Metroplex region by crowning our 2018 World Champion at Texas Motor Speedway," says Erich Wolf, General Manager of Red Bull Air Race GmbH.
"As the margins of victory get tighter and tighter, the Red Bull Air Race season finale only becomes more thrilling. Last year the title came down to the final seconds of the final round, and we can't wait to see what happens this November."
Fort Worth will be the second US round of the series, with Indianapolis hosting the seventh round in October. Two American pilots, Texas native Kirby Chambliss and Massachusetts' Michael Goulian are both flying in the Masterclass, with Goulian currently second place in the championship behind Australia's Matt Hall. Louisiana pilot Kevin Coleman is competing in the Challenger Class.
The next round of the Red Bull Air Race is in Kazan, Russia, 25-26 August.
