Event info

Vršac Open competition traditionally is held in April. This year we have also 2 reserve dates in case the weather is not favorable. It is the 1st round of Serbian XC Paragliding league and also the first FAI cross country event in the country for the season of 2014. It was planned to be held from 03 till 06 of April. But due to bad forecast it is shifted to 11 - 13 of April with reserve dates of 18 - 20 of April, 2014. Exact dates will be defined on the Wednesday of the week preceding the competition.

Plane

The nearest is Belgrade International airport. Vrsac is situated in southeast part of Banat, 80 km away from Belgrade.

Bus

The local bus company http://www.stup.rs/ with routes from and to Belgrade and Novi Sad on an hourly basis.

Car

If you are aproaching Vrsac from Belgrade side, it would be the best to look for Pancevacki most in Belgrade, cross it and follow rute Pancevo – Vrsac.
If you are approaching from interior of Serbia by highway, it would be good to take turn off at Smederevo and Kovin. When crossing Danube river and enter Kovin, one should follow road sign towards Bela Crkva and after that towards Vrsac (additional 30 km from Bela Crkva).
If you are comming from north or western Vojvodina, you should follow road for Zrenjanin and then take road from Zrenjanin over Plandiste, towards Vrsac.

You should be careful about police patros and radars!!! They are based mostly ahead of cities or smaller cities, but aso on the road before Vrsac.

Competition mobile live tracking - successful result!

We were unlucky with the weather. First rain, then wind did not allowed us to compete to the Goal. But for the first time in history we applied Airtribune competition mobile live tracking system and were glad to check it operates fine. Both races visualization and retrieve were most helpful. So we are going to continue its promotion for our sports benefit.
