The Final is close

This afternoon the task of speed over triangle with an out-and-return section and limited fuel (3kg) was flown. The objective is to fly a set triangle at maximum speed, close it and then start a straight section on a given point -the lenght of which is decided by the pilot. This section must be flown out and return as many times as the fuel lets the pilot, then he/she must land on the deck. For the PF1 leaders, Ramon, Michel and Mathieu, it was a good task (so they say) and now we have to wait for the results of their tracks to see if there is any change in the ranking. There were a number of out landings as well.
The organization is now dealing with several complaints from the teams for tasks incorrectly scored, irregularities in the development of them or the conditions in which they were flown, etc. All the teams are scratching the last points they can.
In the PL1 (trike) category it was not a good afternoon for the leader Daniel Crespo, who ran out of fuel before reaching the deck, although he could close the triangle that makes one half of the task (500 points). Kudaszewicz (2nd) and Michaela (3rd) were both seen on the LZ, which means that there could be movements in the results, but Daniel believes that tomorrow he will be able to recover some points in the fast-slow task.
“Today I made a mistake, but I am ok. In competition you learn a lot, either when you do well or when you fail, so I hope to improve in the remaining tasks and to stay calm. With the team we are doing very well, our tandem Nino and Lope are flying finely -despite Lope being sick for 4 days- and scoring for the category. We are doing a good job and I hope we’ll finish it in the best way”, says Dani.
Tomorrow, things will start at 6 for the foot-launched paramotors -later for the trikes- with the fast-slow task. Then, there will be a navigation with unknow section: the pilots must identified a mark on the ground along a set course, then navigate in a given direction from that point looking for the next mark before the known waypoints…
