ULTRALIGHT TOUR DE FRANCE 98 Like each year, the ultralight Tour de France will be the European event mainly by the number of participating teams - and the heavy organization that such an event implies.
After the north-west part (see: Tour de France 97), the north-east part of France will be seen this year from July 31 to August 8. Remember that the Ultralight Tour de France visits each year 1/4th of the territory, this allowing to keep it short enough, and to focus on the local landings. This is the media event of the year, and the only way to see a hundred ultralights in flight. This is a show not to be missed, and a rare occasion to discuss with the owners of various ultralights brands.
In 1997, 155 pilots and navigators took part, out of which 4 women pilots and 20 women as navigator. 20 married teams were flying as a pair. The youngest pilot was 17, the youngest navigator 14, and the oldest pilot was 73. Participating teams came from France, Germany, UK, Belgium, La Réunion, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
