Following on from the great success with the 1st Virtual SGP, which welcomed 400 pilots in September 2021, we are happy to announce that there will be a Virtual SGP series running in parallel of the 11th Series, providing all virtual gliding enthusiasts with an opportunity to compete with the real events.

There will be 10 Virtual SGPs qualifying events around the world in 2022 and 2023, where virtual pilots will be able to qualify to the Final event.
