Wingnutz, last weekend's overall winner of the international A Class competition, features the team's 10-pointer in round six of the meet in Great Britain. The 10-pointer for the A Class sequence (21-Q) was the highest score in this round. Wingnutz finished the 6-round competition with a 10.2 meet average.
The British Grand Prix manager Andy Scott has been observing the great participation at the events and the progression of many teams with interest and pleasure. He sent a summary of his observations to his staff and supporters of the Grand Prix event series in the United Kingdom:
Andy Scott provided his staff and supporters with the latest standings in the run for the overall championship and used the data for a brief evaluation of the 2006 season:
The results at the ESL finals bear out the high standing of UK teams within Europe - more so at the grass root level. The hole left by XL is starting to be filled with many promising teams and individuals coming through - exciting times! The Nationals starts, as we know, two weeks after the World Meet 2006 and will see an interesting challenge for first places in several classes - including Airkix vs Bodyflight Rage in the AAA Class."
Andy Scott can see the growing potential in the United Kingdom, which might eventually create a new world class team in the Open AAA Class competition. He gives credit to the new wind tunnels in Great Britain: "The advantage of tunnel availability in the UK looks like its helping to strengthen our skill base."
Great Britain already has a serious medal contender in the female category this year. Airkix is supported by UK's SkyVenture wind tunnel and currently prepares for the competition with France, Russia and USA at the World Meet 2006. The British team V-Max won the gold medals in the same category in 2003.
