Andes Open 2014

Chile,   5 January 2014 – 26 January 2014

Ahhhhh... 140+ kph speeds are back!!!

Yep, finally the smoke from wildfires is gone and we have our soaring paradise back.

With the best speed above 140 kph, yesterday task was "fast and furious". Some pilots needed oxigen to make the track with altitudes over 4800 m AMSL.

Cycles, cycles, cycles... With very cyclic thermals, you can win or loose a race because of the cycle. On day number 2, one bad cycle at "laboratorio" got Carlos on the second place. Yesterday, a longer bad cycle at "lagunas" got René on the second place. So take your cycle calculator and start on the good cycle!!!!

The score is tight and we still have 5 races to go so stay tuned.

Tomorrow starts the "Cobre" class, so as the chilean saying says: "all the meat on the grill" (or something like that... ;-)
