<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: verdana; font-size: 18pt;">The Pyrenees's Cup 2023 is planned </span></b></h2>
<h3><span style="color: red; font-family: verdana;">from the 22nd to the 24th of September 2023</span></h3></div><div align="center">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Toulouse and its nice area, known for good food, vine and interesting tourist sites in the close vincinity is hosting this event of the 2023 Eurotour. The organization is assured by the model airplane club of Eole Muret (near Toulouse).</p><div style="text-align: left;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">
General</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The region and the meteo in the south west of France is dominated by the Pyrenees mountains that are creating an airflow either from the Mediterranean See to the Atlantic Ocean or vice-versa. Consequently , only two wind directions are experienced and are leading to the two slopes that are selected for the FAI contest: </div><div align="left"><ul><li>Saint Ferriol (near Quillan) for north-western winds </li><li>Laurac le Grand for south-eastern winds (called "Vent d'Autan")</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;">Both slopes are approx. 75km away from each other which is not very practical but weather forecast is reliable in the region an permits to select the slope two or one days before the competition. It is consequently important to stay in contact the organizers team (via internet or phone) in order to know the selected slope.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div>
<div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">A lot of F3F competitions have been flown on both slopes and a very successful French Championships were held in St. Ferriol in 2007, in Laurac 2010 and of course FAI/Eurotour contests in 2007, 2008, 2009 and the Viking Race in 2010 and again FAI/Eurotour in 2011 and 2013. Just have a look on some pictures in the Photo Gallery. Saint Ferriol is certainly the preferred slope as we find there a sharp edge with limited thermal influence. Laurac has no sharp profile and the famous Vent d'Autan is in most cases quiet strong with thermal influence. The chance to fly on one or the other slope is 50/50.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
