A speed rally is a high speed navigation flying event. Up to 40 aircraft take off from a selected airfield and fly at full speed around a 140nm track with 10 – 12 waypoints, which can be tight turns or chicanes.

The awesome part about the speed rally is that is modelled on a hybrid between the presidents trophy air race and a precision navigation rally event. Enlisting the most appealing parts of each format into one hybrid competition. What makes the speed rally very interesting is that the slowest a/c take off first and the faster a/c take off last.

As you fly around the track, the faster a/c will catch up to the slower a/c. If everyone fly the track according to their handicap speed, all the aircraft will cross the finish line at the exact same time. Making for a very exciting photo finish!
