\"XTRM<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Paramotor competition has spent too long racing flat out between pylons, turning over mown fields and measuring tenths of a second on closed circuits over water. The XTRM Series<\/strong> breaks that mould by taking powered flight back to its original calling: to travel, to navigate and to solve navigation in real time over unknown territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanctioned as an official FAI Category 2 event (CIMA World League Cup), the first edition of the XTRM Series<\/strong> will be held from 3 to 14 November 2026. A linear challenge that will link the east and west of Argentina over 1,300 kilometres split into seven consecutive stages, connecting airfields from Concordia, on the banks of the Uruguay River, to Tunuy\u00e1n, right where the plains crash into the first foothills of the Andes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The essence of Rally Flight: reading the air without magic screens<\/h3>\n\n\n

\"XTRM<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The XTRM Series<\/strong> Rally Flight format demands something no closed circuit can simulate. On tasks of up to 220 kilometres a day, taking off and landing on different airstrips calls for meticulous flight management. There is no point memorising a racing line; pilots have to interpret drift, early-morning wind shear and the thermal convection that starts shaking the frame around midday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rules introduce two pillars that completely change the tactical game:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
