A spectacular shoot-out down Farnborough's runway will kick off the flying display every day, when some of the fastest racing cars take on an ex-RAF BAC Jet Provost trainer to see which is fastest.

Today and Thursday, the Team Nasamax LMP1 sportscar will try and beat the JP - though the aircraft's superiority is not expected to be challenged until Friday, when it goes head-to-head with the awesome Fire Force jet-powered Drag Racer (pictured).

Fire Force can reach a speed of up to 280mph (450kmh) in 6sec, so the contest taking pace on 23-25 July will truly be a high-speed showdown. Don't miss it!
