We are happy to announce that in a short time there will be an additional class added to GPS-Triangle soaring: „The Light Class“.

Eigentlich sollte der erste Start bereits um 9 Uhr morgens erfolgen, jedoch spielte das Wetter nicht so richtig mit, sodass die Piloten bis zum Mittag warten mussten, um ihr erstes Dreieck zu fliegen. Neben dem zu diesem Zeitpunkt führenden der Gesamtwertung Daniel Aeberli (DNAracer), waren auch dessen Verfolgen Holger und Niko Genkinger (beide Calvados) am Start, die noch einmal alles versuchten, um Daniel von der Spitze zu verdrängen.
