Sports-Class Racing Series
Welcome to the Sports-Class Racing Series, a series of international high-level FAI Cat 2 competitions to crown a Sports-Class Champion each year. If you enjoy racing mid-aspect wings, you’ve come to the right place!
The SRS is for pilots who have outgrown fun and national competitions, and are looking to take the next step.
It’s also for experienced EN-B and EN-C pilots who want to finally be able to race on a level playing field.
In the SRS, pilots will enjoy the thrill and challenge of high-level paragliding racing without needing to fly an EN-D or CCC wing.
And with 280 pilots enjoying the SRS in 2023, it is now firmly establishing itself as THE sports class circuit.
World Cup pilots have said how much they’ve enjoyed the camaraderie and low stress nature of SRS, while new racers have heaped praise on the inclusive, encouraging atmosphere.
Above all, the races are designed to challenge you and develop your flying.
