6/8 – Competition Day 2

Good evening everyone!

Today we had our first racing task at the EGC with very different conditions to yesterday. As our meteorologist Horác said “we turned off the clouds today, but unfortunately, most of them…”. The competitors encountered patches of high cumulus and then sections of blue thermal on their task with the 15m class flying 405 km, Standard class 389 km, and Club class 369 km.

The competitors proved to be very capable and managed to reach the speeds of up to 117 kph in the 15m class, 115 kph in Standard class, and 106 in Club class. Our daily winners are Lukasz Grabowski (POL), Jeroen Jennen (BEL), and Hugo Corbille (FRA) respectively.

Congratulations to everyone and rest well for the next days. Even though the forecast is a bit more pessimistic, the weather should be useable!
