posted Nov 30th, 2014 - The world's 4-way top competition surely takes place at the 5th Dubai International Parachuting Championship this week, with reigning world champion NMP-PCH Hayabusa, bronze medalist Evolution and US top team SDC Rhythm XP all competing for honors and cash.

However, the biggest 4-way competition runs in Roosendaal at the same time, the ISR Grand Prix 2014, where 55 teams completed six rounds yesterday.

The AAA Class leader, Thunder ISR, is on track to beat the team's previous record average of 27.9 at the Aerokart Indoor Championship 2012. Thunder stands at 29.0 after six rounds. There is no competition in Roosendaal for the strongest amateur team in the world, and Thunder have their eyes on the top 4-way competition in Dubai while scoring high in Roosendaal.

There is a fierce battle for the 2nd place in the AAA Class behind Thunder (M4trix - Creeps), and several other medal positions are facing tight competition in all other categories, as well.

Spritz from Italy and Blue Rebels from Greece are fighting for the 1st place in the AA Class, and three teams are in contention for the 3rd place. Papa Foxtrot wins the A Class and Hoppaaa is safe in 2nd, however, three teams can still win the A Class bronze medals. It is also only the 3rd place that is still open in the Rookie Class, and there are even four teams with highscores for a round and chances to finish in a medal position.

In the meantime, the Sunday competition has started in Dubai after a windy morning. The 4-way teams are back in action.
