Default FAI triangle records speed question

How much faster do you need to fly any FAI distance for it to count as
a new record? For example, if my current state's 300km triangle
record is 72 miles per hour does someone just need to fly it 73 miles
per hour or is there a certain percentage to improve by?

Thanks,
Bruno

Default FAI triangle records speed question

A quick scan of the FAI sporting code section 3 says:

"3.0.4 World record margins: A new record claim must exceed the
current value by 1 kilometre for distance, 1 km/h for speed, and 3%
for altitude."

Note that this is for World records. your local area mileage may vary.
