I have a great idea for next year. Special contest for Sean and his buddies. IGC club class only. Grand Prix rules, with no finish minimum, with full IGC protocols -- jury, stewards and all. Full panel IFR (artificial horizon) required. Flarm units with leech mode enabled required. The new DeLorme every minute tracker required, and each pilot's "team captain" will radio up other pilot's positions and weather from ground control. Units: Metric. Language: Only Norwegian and Polish allowed -- need to practice up for the WGC, guys!

While Obviously a joke-post... I think... Although... I do speak a little Norwegian so that should help me...

Aren't we headed the way of unlimited information from whatever source we want (Flamr-radar, teammates, ground crew as team captains, ads-b weather, etc., etc.) because bans on the "proliferation of technology" are ultimately unenforceable except by peer pressure and "gentlemanly conduct"?

And why the dig at IGC Club Class? Your going to get your *******ized US "Club Class"

And now the GP format is crazy and unsafe...

Flame suit set to full.

Somewhat snarkily,
