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 of the region sat together and decided that we need a joint F3F of our own. So we have the Typhoon Race now. Typhoon Race 2015, Korea The Jeju Island was once again the venue of the Typhoon Race in Korea, and yes flying at volcanoes! Strong wind over the conical volcano slopes was a great challange to the pilots' flying skill. See the offical homepage of TR2015, Korea, and the facebook page. Typhoon Race 2014, Taiwan The recording breaking slope of Lung Pun definitely drew the attention of the pilots in the world. And being one of the F3F World Cup competitions, you can expect it is not a "normal" Typhoon Race. And yes, it is a "big" Typhoon race with 64 pilots from 12 countries!
