24hr Buggy endurance records.....solo or team rules
The good thing about both these records are, you do not have to be in the racing scene, have a big buggy or fly the best kites, its about stamina and
endurance....anyone with a buggy a kite and a GPS can in reality become the world best.
Solo
We have tried to keep the solo record as straight forward as possible....the rules are quite simple.
The distance must be done within one 24hour period.
The record must be done on a natural surface.
Using a harness or hot wiring (kite fixed to buggy with quick release) is allowed.
Stop as often and for however long you wish to.
This record is not recognized by the Guinness Book of Records, it is though recognized among fellow buggiers around the world, that normally is enough
for most of us to allow "Bragging Rights", much the same as the World Speed Record, that was in fact set using 3 GPS units, to stop any arguments.
Have witnesses and a team around you for support who know what they are doing, use at least two GPS units or even three, stop as and when you like,
the choice is yours (even go home to bed and start again in the morning)....but the record must be done within one 24hr period. You may hot wire,
although only one person has done this. Plan, plan plan, think of everything, the time of the year, will the beach be busy, will you be able to see
during the night (wait for a full moon)
Knowledge is everything, read the
Solo 24hrs Write Ups
You can rest and arm....you can rest a leg, but you cannot rest your ribs, so think about that area of your body, regarding clothing, and wear the
best fitting harness if you can, it the smaller details that get forgotten, they are the ones that become major issues towards the end of your 24hr
endurance
Remember, with the Solo or Team, it is MUST to have a team of people around you who know what you are doing and to support you throughout the whole
event
To beat the current solo record, you have to average 16.90mph or more
Team
A team of Three (one pilot flying at a time, done on rotation) to be considered a world record...again witnesses, gps's obviously, as with all kite
buggying records, they must be made on natural surfaces only, in the team event no hot wiring is allowed.
Another very important factor with these records is knowledge...it is well worth reading the write ups.
Please read the other write ups and learn from their experience
Solo 24hrs Write Ups 03 - Distance Team 24hrs
Official FISLEY RULES
Make sure you have valid kite buggy insurance for any third party accidents.
A team to go for the record must be three people.
No Buggy Lap belts are allowed.
No Hot Wiring (Kite fixed to buggy).
Buggy must not weigh more than 60kgs.
Each Team will require a minimum of two GPS units, recording distance recorded in kilometers to attach to the buggy being used for the event
You can physically swap GPS units between the buggies at the start of each session so the pilot can use his own buggy.
GPS units to be set to Zero at the start of each session
If only using two GPS units and one fails, you will record zero for that session, as the lowest recorded reading for that session is recorded,
that's why three GPS units are better than two.
When using three GPS units, the middle reading is recorded, if two GPS units fail you will record zero for that session.
Planning is very important, it may be a very busy time on your coast line with holiday makers on the beach....also pick a 24hr period when the moon
is full, that will help light up the night sky....all the team 24hr events in Europe are held during a full moon for this reason.
To beat the current team record, you have to average 27.20 mph or more
Another very important factor with these records is knowledge...it is well worth reading the write ups.

Planning is also very important, it has already been mentioned by WG, it may be a very busy time with holiday makers on the beach....also pick a 24hr
period when the moon is full, that will help light up the night sky....all the team 24hr event are held during a full moon for this reason.
You can rest and arm....you can rest a leg, but you cannot rest your ribs, so think about that area of you body, regarding clothing, and the best
fitting harness, it the smaller details that get forgotten, they are the ones that become major issues towards the end of your 24hr endurance.
It was also mentioned to beat the solo record, you only have to average 17mph....nothing is is.......TRY IT .....lol
