2nd October ~ Awards Dinner

The oldest and most prestigious aeronautical race in the world, the Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race, comes to Bristol, Great Britain for the first time since the race began in 1906. The winner of the Coupe Aeronautique Gordon Bennett is the pilot who flies the furthest from the starting point, measured in a straight line around the earth's surface. However, there are only a limited number of countries over which competitors may fly. Flying over or landing in a country outside the competition area results in disqualification. Follow the balloon race live on line thanks to GPS tracking.

The launch site has been changed to a private farm in
North West Bristol (Map & details of entry will be supplied with your ticket)
