well, I am only on remote access to my server and cant solve problem with official server, because one of my PC is turned off.
For zone 15:30 UTC server will be visible only in standard part, not under official server.

Server name: _SkyRace D5
Thx

I have an old PC which just hung itself up 2 minitues before the race.
I hope I can fly in the next time zone!?

I had a really nice flight,
Started as soon as possible, and allong leg 1 the bigger gliders caught up with me.
After tp 2 I chose to go south, and use the ridge lift to cross the hunter ridge before tp2.
That's where I got together with PWA and F9, we managed to catch the last bumps of a ridge thermal before it died.
I think I made the right choice to go south, but some daredevils might have been faster straight on track..

Also had a nice flight, unfortunately got disconnected just before TP1, so I flew the last 150km on my own. Had a bit of trouble to cross the mountain ridges near TP2 but the last stretch was very nice.
I'm very curious what the others did, so really looking forward for the results.

I am affraid Max that your result wont be counted, because rules gives you one flight advantage as compensation for PC issue or so. If you have any proof about blue screen, your alt before disconnect or so, it is possible doesnt count your "Racing" status as crash. Other question is how you got access to other timezone briefing.

But final decision must will makes Karsten or Wolfgang. (in no way only you! or me)

This is what I did last year (i also have frequent blue screens), and almost got disqualified from SBC.

I also had bluscreen on last SR race, where I'd won for sure if I finished, but had BOD 1 thermal before finish....

This is why we dont count all races towards final result.
