1 FEB 07: GO RACING - 2007 AIR RACE SCHOOL DATES SET

School for wannabe racers opens season      

TWO one-day schools for would-be air racers will be held on 29 and 30 March at North Weald Airfield. The schools are a prelude to a season of eight weekends of racing from April to September, organised by the Royal Aero Club.

Any pilot with at least 100 hours P1 is eligible to race. The races are time handicapped to allow a mixture of aircraft to compete on an equal basis, from basic club Cessna 152s up to more exotic planes such as a Siai Marchetti SF260.

Regular racer Geoffrey Boot told LOOP, "Pilots are invited to attend [the school] with their own aircraft. The varied programme explains the basic requirements and rules governing air racing, and there is an option to fly with an air race check pilot who will demonstrate racing techniques. Aircraft are available on the field by special arrangement."

The school cost is £35 per pilot, £20 for a navigator (not including aircraft hire). The organisers of the races are also looking for volunteers to help stage the events.
