Thanks Marcel.

They are also setting 2km on some racing tasks. The idea is to
separate classes. For example is 15 meter is coming in straight from
the south, they get a 1 km circle. Then if 18m is coming in from the
west they get a 2 km circle, so that they're not turning exactly where
15m is coming through.
