Our Team
Why sports class competitions?
The demand for sports class competition is high. There are many pilots who loves to race and compete but don’t want to fly full-blood competition gliders.
There is a lot of ‘regular’ competitions where all paraglider classes are racing the same tasks. Such a situation is not ideal neither for
EN C pilots nor for CCC pilots:
- task setting – often too difficult for EN C gliders to get to goal or tasks not ambitious enough which makes CCC pilots not happy.
- scoring – all classes are scored together, which is unfair for lower classes regarding leading and goal points.
- EN C pilots also love to fly in leading gaggles and win tasks. Now it’s almost impossible. Usually, when the first EN C pilots arrive in goal the overall winners are already packed and drunk all goal beer ☺
Thanks to the NOVA Paragliding Grand Prix none of the above will bother you anymore! Register today and enjoy competing in the best possible environment!
