I think that today is a practice day, but it is still fun to watch. Many of
the world's best sailplane racers are competing. Exciting!

I watched quite a bit of it...live....was really cool!

Couple of laughs though:


The French accent, English speaking, commentator kept talking about "Le Giggle"

One time had to turn the sound volume way up and...

The English speaking commentator, apparently thinking he was "off mike", gave a bit of a rant over the tracking technology...he was mad that it was kind of jumpy and inaccurate at times.....He said the graphics were excellent, but there was better tracking technology available. And they were not able to broadcast the "plan view".

Still, to me a fantastic presentation of the sport......

There are "replay" videos available now, on the site. 2D of the entire race, and 3D highlights.....


Way cool!
