Anyone that has been around since the good ole’ days of the Flytec
Championship at Quest Air will remember our first Race of Champions in 2007.
Back then we invited the top 30 pilots from the Flytec Championship to compete
in a 3-day elimination race. Day 1 we eliminated the bottom 10, leaving just 20.
Day 2 we eliminated the bottom ten again and of course, the final day it was
just the top ten best of the best! We had great fun and thanks to Flytec USA
awarded $10,000 in prize money.

Every year since then we’ve wanted to do it again but because we’ve been
Rallying, it just wasn’t possible.

Well, now that we’re hanging out in one place this year, we’re really excited to
do another 3-day Flytec Race of Champions following the regular 7 day
competition at Americus!! Things will be a little different than last time, but
at least as much fun. We will invite 30 top pilots from around the world to
compete for another very big dollar prize. We don’t have the exact figure yet.
We’re working on, and shooting for $10,000 again, but Flytec USA is committed
with us to have at least $7,500. If we don’t fill the Race with invited pilots,
any remaining spots will be offered to the top 30 pilots at the Flytec
Championship – so bring your competitive spirit to that comp to get yourself a
spot if you haven’t already been invited.

This year, the Race will be a team event (teams of 2 pilots). But, unlike CIVL
Cat 1 comps, YOU get to choose your teammate. You don’t have to pair up with
some dork just because he happens to come from the same country – you can team
up with your best buddy from the other side of the planet (think Jonny Durand
and Kraig Coomber), your fellow factory pilot (Dustin & Zippy) or your bromance
(the Jeffs!). The important thing to remember is that, like certain cycling
competitions, only the slowest pilot on the team is scored. This will encourage
everyone to stick with their teammates – to help dig them out of a hole or just
drag their asses along the course. We got this idea from the Brasilians at the
last Race of Champions who decided amongst themselves that they would help each
other out and split the winnings – on the final day, two of them crossed the
finish line wingtip to wingtip and it made for a great show for the spectators.
