The challenge is to go around a set of fixed turn points as fast as you can. A flight recorder is used to catch GPS traces and allows full 3D flight replays and analysis. In competitions the trace from this recorder is used to calculate the winner.
Tasks be of any size and are set to the capabilities of the pilot and glider.
