Can gliding become a TV sport?
Glider racing will never be completely "real-time" and clever video editing can increase the pace and excitement. Biased though I am, I think glider racing is enormously more exciting than boat racing.
Bill - Have you watched any of the re-boot of the America's Cup Sailing races. It is pretty spectacular now with immense amounts of data being off-loaded the boats and superimpose don them by the race officuals. It shows what Sailplane GP might become. However, we'll see how the viewership numbers go and if sailing sees any "bump" from the activities this coming summer.
