Sailplane Grand Prix Gawler

Series 12 FAI Sailplane Grand Prix
The 12th series of FAI Sailplane Grand Prix (SGP) national contests will be held around the world during 2024 -5. The national contests are qualifying events for the 12th Sailplane Grand Prix final which will be held at St Auban in France 24 to 30 August 2025. The top pilots from each event will qualify to fly in the final contest with the victor being declared World SGP Champion.

The Australian SGP will be held at Gawler 5 -11 January 2025. Entries are open to 18m, 15m and Standard class gliders - with handicaps to be confirmed - opening up the competition to many more pilots and gliders.

Adelaide Soaring Club at Gawler is at the southern end of the Barossa wine region and has ample accommodation in town and the local area. A large caravan park in Gawler has air-conditioned units available to hire, and accommodation and onsite camping are also available at the Gawler airfield.

Tasking will be predominantly over flat farming country with hills in the northern task area. The task area covers the Barossa Valley and extends north from there, as well as east over the Murray River to Waikerie.

The contest period is in the peak thermal soaring season of the year. Adelaide Soaring Club will be holding a regatta during the same period and it will be a lively and interesting time to be flying at one of Australia's great gliding sites.
