A good point has been raised on the IGC mailing list. With the new
categories it may be possible to have a ratified national record that
exceeds the same task world record.

In principle this has always been possible because FAI and IGC (rightly)
cannot control criteria for events and flights for which the rules are
made by the National body.

For example, one of Jim Payne's USA 100 km triangle records was for a
time at a faster speed than the world record. This was because of
different criteria on the shape of triangles.
