yesterday (Saturday 15th of May)

All pilots completed a 20th round in medium to strong condition at St
Ferriol. Both groups were flying in sequence on Slope A. Then we had an
interruption to calculate the final team result and the ranking in order
to determine the 20 best pilots to do a fly off of 4 rounds. During this
interruption, a mini contest with the judges and officials has been
organised, with 2 rounds. the pilots wrer judging this time :) !
Marcel Guwang, a Slope director did the best time with a 33.xx

We started the fly off with strong conditions (16 to 20 m/s of wind). It
has been a "rain" of sub 40s, lots of personnal best and a blistering
30,79s for Thibaud Ringenbach (France). IS the ranking didn't change for
the top 3, things moved behind with excellent finish of Lucas Gaubatz
(17 to 9) or Mathieu Mervelet (14 to 8).

Alexis Marechal exploded his Alliaj HM on the ridge (rocks) during the
second round of the fly off. At the 24th round, Thibaud Ringenback had a
2.4 receiver lock for long seconds, but finally recovered despite he got
a zero score plus a penalty for crossing the safety line.

Viking Race finished at 3:30 pm. We all met at St ferriol for the prize
giving and a last drink before to leave.

Viking Race 2010 is over !

Thanks to all the pilots who attended, a huge thanks to the "red"
jackets who did an exceptionnal job during all the week despite
difficult weather conditions.

See you all in 2 years !!!

6 rounds completed today

We have been able to complete 2+2 rounds on slope A and B. Then slope B
started to be too much crosswind, so we all moved to Slope A and did 2
additionial rounds. We are now at 19 rounds.

The picture gallery section has been updated. Same for the results
section with individual and team results.

Live video now!

You can access right now live streaming of the slope A. Enjoy.

finally, 4 rounds today

The rain disturbed a lot the race, but we have been able to complete 4
rounds sometimes in difficult conditions with low wind or crosswind.
Result section is updated, and pictures gallery too.
Tomorrow, pilot briefing is at 8:45 am on the car park.

2 rounds completed

We completed 2 rounds. 3rd round has been completed on slope A, but
cancelled on slope B, because of the rain. We are currently waiting
for thé sky to clear in order to replay group B round and be at a
total of 12 rounds.

No round today

The weather forecast announced for all day but finally it was OK.
However we got no wind :(
We waited from 11am to 18am before to close thé day.
Tomorrow should be better with Moreau wind. First flight Will be at 9am.

2 rounds today

The weather was promising but ....
When we arrived on the slope around 10 am, the wind was here, the sun and blue sky too. But rapidly the wind changed of direction and dropped, which complicated things a lot. We have been able to complete 2 rounds.

There is a protest after round 9. This protest will be examinated by the jury. It could have an impact on round 9, depending of the decision.

Tomorrow forecast is rain. Briefing will be at the HQ in Limoux for the team managers before to take the decision to go or not go to the slope.

No pictures today, sorry.
