Typhoon
Race
The Typhoon Race is an annual F3F Open competition in the Asia-Pacific region since 2008. It is hosted by Taiwan, Korea and Hong Kong, rotated every year. Pilots from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Australia and Japan gather together every year for this most awaited F3F competiton of the region. The first Typhoon Race was hosted by Taiwan in 2008. Before the Typhoon Race there were F3F Open competitions held independently in different countries. Then in Hong Kong F3F Open 2007, pilots from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Australia sat together and decided that we need a joint F3F of our own. So we have the Typhoon Race now. Typhoon Race 2012, Korea December in Korea, a snow F3F was expected! But the snow was just too heavy that the Korea organizer had to change the venue to JeJu Island which is over hundred of kilometers from Golden Mountain, the original flying site.
