Our philosophy is to make a simple race, without many setbacks for the pilot, based on the pleasure of flying, where the pilot has time to take off, not being nervous, no stress, a wide window with a clear objective race, with an outlet defined and the same time for all pilots, marked with beacons, being able to use the GPS, mobile phone and all the possible technologies for the pilot to have all the possibilities.
Our race is a test of speed. It's about doing different rounds of different mileages and difficulties, different routes well marked with beacons, starting and finishing at the same airfield (if weather permits). There will be good access for picking up, if a pilot decided to leave the race by engine problems or other causes.
We'll consider the possibility of trying to beat the world speed record in the form triangle 25, 50 and 100 km. The whole design of this race is based on, take off our airfield around Baza and reach or turn around other airfields in the area, either for refueling or safety.
