DVD Review: Sailplane Grand Prix in the Andes http://soaringcafe.com/2011/03/dvd-r...-in-the-andes/ In January, 2010, 16 of the world's best sailplane pilots gathered in Santiago,Chile for eight days of racing over some of the most spectacular and starkly beautiful terrain on the planet. The lucky pilots were invited to compete in the Third FAI Sailplane Grand Prix, a race unlike any other in soaring. The sailplanes all start at the same time and race around a pre- designated course, and the first pilot to cross the finish line wins. To make the race exciting for the uninitiated and the results easy to understand for spectators, the scoring is simple, or perhaps brutal, from the competitors' point of view. The winner is the first sailplane to cross the finish line. Several Classified Ads were posted this week. They can be reviewed at: http://soaringcafe.com/category/classified-ads/ |
