This event looks like it would be a lot of fun for the participants.

We used to have that competition in the U.S. It was a lot of fun but it collapsed in 1978 when the organizers badly mishandled the national event after the regionals were successful.

I assume that they only have an E6-B and paper maps?

I ‘competed’ in the Hayward Air Race (back then) many years ago:

I was crew in a friends Mooney M20 and we won. Was a fun experience. GPS taped over and pre Foreflight/iPads. Charts clocks pencils and dead recogning. I don’t remember if we even used VOR’s.

Nat, the planes owner, was an electrical engineer and loved numbers, tables, E6B’s and the like. It was a dream come true for him.
