Florida Grand Prix

JC: Yes for the full GP. But we're talking about starting everyone at the same time, and keeping everything else the same. Including, turn area tasks, handicaps, regular start and finish geometry, etc. etc.

As your GP rules evolve, it will be amusing to watch as they deviate from the rules used by the rest of the world. Again.

Well, give me a little bit of a break. The point of IGC grand prix is to make something fun for spectators and media. The point of the Florida Grand Prix, and a possible attempt to do something under ssa rules, is to craft something fun and safe for the pilots. Different points may well justify different rules. If I wanted to run an IGC qualifying grand prix with 10 hot pilots, video cameras, sponsors, and excitement, I'd use IGC rules.

Are you saying to make it safe we must avoid AT and use MATs or TATs?

Good point!
