Pal Takats and The Ozone Team Win SRS in Slovenia

The Sports Racing Series (SRS) Naviter Edition delivered a spectacular week of racing from 6 to 13 June 2026 in Tolmin, Slovenia. Welcoming pilots from 35 countries to the stunning, green Soča Valley, the event offered high-stakes mountain routes marked by dramatic ridges, with task distances stretching up to 74 kilometres. Pilots faced an incredible mix of conditions across the week, from booming 2,100-metre cloudbases and lightning-fast ridge soaring to technical, overcast days that forced determined scratching to stay airborne before final glides into the valley.

In the overall scores, Pal Takats dominated the competition on his Ozone Photon to take a well-deserved championship title. He showed incredible tactical mastery throughout the challenging conditions, keeping a close eye on his rivals and reading the changing skies perfectly to stay out in front. Reflecting on his success, he said: “The less you are busy with the glider, the more information you can collect and the better decisions you can make.” Joining him on the overall podium were Luke Nicol in second place and Matthijs Derks in third.

The women’s category saw equally brilliant racing, with Mette Krum taking the top step of the podium closely followed by Ni Mo in second place and Adel Honti securing third place, both flying the Ozone Photon. To wrap up a phenomenal week, the exceptional performance of the pilots across the categories saw Team Ozone take a spectacular victory in the team rankings.

FIRST-EVER 400 KM TRIANGLE AND A NEW WORLD RECORD!

Antoine Girard has just flown the first 400 km triangle and set a new world record in Pakistan.

He reports:

“At the controls of the Zeolite and the F*Race 2, Veso and I teamed up to increase our speed on the course. The strategy worked perfectly until heavy rain interrupted our progress.

I chose to wait it out and then skirt around the rain zone. While this decision cost me almost an hour—leaving me to navigate very weak and disorganized thermals after the storm passed—patience finally paid off. The flight concluded with the first-ever 400 km triangle and a new world record in one of my favorite playgrounds!”

Congrats, Antoine, and cheers from the whole team! antoine girard

‘Still can’t believe but I managed to win another task today. My strategy was only to defend the first position, but staying high for the most part and attacking hard in the right moments paid off! Conditions were a bit more demanding today but thermals were the best so far and I even caught a 5-7 m/s up to the last cloudbase. I had a lot of fun! One day left of the competition.’

After 4 valid tasks Pál Takáts continues leading the pack of the SRS Racing in Tolmin, Slovenia.
Pal has won 2 out of 4 tasks flying his Photon.

PEPE MALECKI AND VANJA EGGERSVIK WIN SRS BASSANO, ITALY

The second SRS of 2026 took place on May 23-30 in the stunning venue of Bassano del Grappa where the Italian plains meet the great alpine chain. The 5 very varied tasks combined flats and mountains.
9 out of the top 10 from the 2025 SRS raced wing tip to wing tip! With the highest WPRS in the history of the SRS, 76 points for the winner, it was an outstanding field of competitors.

The tasks were achievable and not unnecessarily long, the weather overall was good and five tasks is always on the upper end of expectations in Europe.
The first tasks were in stable conditions, making the going pretty tough. There was good lift at times, making knowing when to change gears essential.

It was a great competition for Ozone team pilot Andreas ‘Pepe’ Malecki who won 2 tasks, and also the overalls.
For Ross Desmond it was his first ever SRS and confirmed his place coming second overall, a mere 16 points behind the legendary Pepe.
Marco Sommerfeld was third to complete the overall podium.

Vanja Eggesvik, took the win on her Ozone Lyght, with Summer Barham in second and Joanna Kocot, both on the Ozone Photon.

5 fantastic tasks in technical conditions. The atmosphere was fun, friendly and chilled, but the racing was fierce, with teams and individuals eager to win.

The SRS is now in Tolmin, Slovenia, for the third event of the year where, after three tasks, Ozone team pilot Pal Takats is leading the pack flying his Photon.

From Pakistan to Finland! 🇵🇰✈️🇫🇮

Join as he takes us on a flash ride into the heart of the Finnish wilderness.

‘The craziest idea of my life ??

Flying in Finland as always been a dream. Yesterday I checked the forecast that looked promising. I went straight to GVA, took a flight at 7PM and by 1AM I was at ‘s home near Helsinki. Pete, an incredibly nice Finnish pilot I met by chance on WhatsApp a few hours before, sometimes you gotta have chance in life, thank you my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pete drove me this morning to a towing field, and by 11 was airborne in Lapland sky for the first time of my life . The feeling up there was truly indescriptible, I’ve rarely seen something that beautiful. Tricky conditions today, but a good scouting flight, I’ll come back for sure!’

‘After nearly 36 hours of non-stop travel, we have finally arrived in the Hunza Valley, Pakistan. Fatigue is definitely there, but a multi-day weather window is opening up. Such opportunities are rare in this part of the world, and there is no way we could let it pass.

As soon as we arrived, we headed up to spend the night at 4,300 m. Thanks to paragliding, the ascent was quick and efficient. The night was difficult, but it was an essential first step in the acclimatization process. Our Pakistani friend Sajid joined us for this initial phase.

Two days later, we repeated the experience. This time, we were acclimatized enough to combine it with a first flight of 120 km. At this stage, it was difficult to do much better: cloudbase was reaching 5,700 m, and spending extended periods at that altitude still required more acclimatization than we had acquired so far.

We decided to make the most of the last days of good weather and continue building our acclimatization. This time, we brought our skis, as the mountains remain heavily snow-covered above 4,000 m.

We landed at 4,900 m to establish our camp at the base of Ultar Sar (7,388 m). While Veso chose to continue acclimatizing by hiking the slopes around the tent, I headed out on a ski touring mission. Skiing became increasingly difficult around 5,200 m, where the terrain steepened considerably. Beyond that point, crampons and an ice axe became essential. I continued on foot and reached 5,500 m.

The following morning, we had just enough time to break camp and fly back down before the bad weather returned.

This first phase of acclimatization is now complete. We can safely fly and operate at high altitude with a comfortable margin. However, further acclimatization will still be necessary before attempting mountaineering or ski objectives at 6,000 m and above.

We are now waiting for the next weather window, ready to move as soon as conditions allow.’

Ozone team pilots Antoine Girard and Veso Ovcharov report from Pakistan, where their high-altitude adventure is about to begin.

Stay tuned for more!
