The FAI and IGC have a great opportunity for companies to partner with the Sailplane Grand Prix, the IGC Pilots Ranking list and the World Gliding Championships official websites.
Sailplane Grand Prix

For glider pilots worldwide, coverage of the SGPs has become gripping and essential viewing. No matter what timezone they are in, pilots stay up late or get up early so as not to miss top class, live event coverage of the races.
