Launched two years ago by Stefan Kessler and Andreas Kippnick, www.speedbattle.com proposed originally a 24/24 7/7 competition based on glider tasks renewed every two weeks. The results and ranking was computed automatically. All the pilots had to do was... to fly the task. Today, after more than 250 tasks, Speedbattle has 104.703 racestarts, 8.782.907 km flown and 73.191 hours of flying.Meanwhile, Stefan and Andreas developed a very wide array of services and web sites that are essential to the Condor Community.
Thus Speedbattle has become a mere hosting center for Condor add-ons and offers a TeamSpeak server for multiplayer flights.
Stefan and Andreas also created:
1) The Condor Competition Center, used by the vast majority of pilots to register their Competition Number and competition organizers.

2) The Speedbattle Cup, the biggest virtual soaring league ever with 815 pilots (among which many real life competitors) from 43 countries.

3) The virtual Hahnweidewettbewerb, a one week competition that takes place at the same time as its real counterpart in a specific scenery.

And if that was not enough, both guys have other interesting projects in the pipe:
Soaring paradise: it is a fictitious island scenery in the tropics that has the Emma Field for Flight Simulator flavour. There will be a 24/24 server where you can just have fun with a freeflight or fly a task, which sometimes will be a real adventure.

Condor - Rent a server: this will allow pilots to rent a reliable server to run multiplayer flights.

Happy birthday Speedbattle!
