2019 TEAM SOH Around-the-World Race OFFICIAL THREAD

[srgalahad]

This is the Sim-Outhouse 2019 Around-the-World Race Official Thread.

The Executive Committee will make the Start Post below and then it is to be used for the Baton (and Wingman) posts and other required information.

Please do not make any entries in this thread until the Race begins.

Please remember to set up your Duenna with a check mark on "Enable online flight tracking" and pick the proper event: "2019 RTW Race Official Tracking". You also need to use the "Baton-carrier or wingman" check box if flying in that role. Best of luck to all the teams and pilots in this year's race!

Good luck and safe flying!

The RTWR Executive Committee
