Mexico World Cup ... first and second Task

first task

As usual, we drove back as the last on the grid. We took an Italian from Bassano del Grappa. While chatting, we asked him if he can fly with the competition, as he was known as a competition pilot us. But he only spends his holidays here. Since the question came back: "Do you fly before or after the competition?" ... A Prompting laughter broke out with the answer: "In the competition"

had arrived at the starting position clear that we were too late for anything. The Breafing began about 20 minutes later. There was a distance of approximately 74.5 km advertised. We prepared as we could already start 45 minutes (11:45) after the Breafing. The race began at 13:00 clock. Although there was a boot sequence, but by the narrowness of the passage I was not straight forward. So I started quite late and was at the start of the race you want something deeper than. This residue, therefore, I decided it just always fly high and fast, as lower level but had to fight to make. This tactic worked and I was flying - with 27 minutes behind the best - after 2 h 28 to the finish. All the Austrians managed it with very good performances to finish: 3rd

second task

Today, the task was started at 12:45. The problem was with 91 km demanding. Already the first and second buoy (40 km) took us over the plains. After the second buoy parted bulks. Some flew over the plains and the others (including me) flew back into the mountains around there to make the crossing over the plateau. It still went ahead to do it. The last 20 km across the high plateau separating the pilot again. Some tried it across the high plateau and others around it. I chose the high ground, as this was the shortest route. Late, but I reached the finish. Only just came to me Alex and helicopter to the finish. Armin was the best Austrian, but Tom was unlucky and came at the second buoy in the lowlands not high. Again a brilliant air show ended. It's really awesome to fly here. My screen is sharp and I am getting used more and more of it. Positive for me is that today only a few women came to the finish.
