2011 Around-The-World Race is Officially Underway!

Hi everyone,

It is 1600 UTC and the 2011 Around-The-World Race is now officially underway. As per the provisions of the Special Rules, you may begin Saint Maarten (TNCM) for your journey around the world and back.

Please remember to setup your Duenna with a check mark on "Enable online flight tracking" and pick the proper event: "2011 rtw race official tracking"

You also need to use the "Baton-carrier or wingman" check box if flying in that role.

Congratulations to all the teams for the bonuses earned in the Kick-Off Event. We hope it was interesting and challenging to coordinate the flights.

Best of luck to all the teams and pilots in this year's race!

Go
