I do notice that most students start off
turning right off tow (as they are taught), and continue turning
right, while race pilots prefer to turn left (as required by rules
near the airport and turnpoints). Makes for some interesting
thermalling...

Could someone explain _why_ the rules specify left? I can see the point of
everyone turning the same direction, but why not pick the direction in
which you turn after getting off tow?
