Re: Watching Live Stream Good Job RARA!
There is lots of discussion of how fast the 3 top planes are in Sport, but none of them have yet turned a race lap as fast as Jon Sharp in 2009 (although course changes make the comparison a bit difficult). It would be fun to see Jon's 407 record fall tomorrow if the conditions are right.[/QUOTE]
Technically with a different course you have different G loads which literally changes everything so a true comparison is impossible.
That being said here?s some statistics for the current course.
Jeff holds the current course record at 409+ in 2014. There?s also the fudged math that was ended in 2017. If the fudged math was still in use, then Jeff qualifies at 409+ in 2017 as well. With the fudged math factor included when we won in 2018 at 402+, then we would have been shown as 410+.
