2001 WPC-WAG Andalusia

The 2001 WAG was a World Championships and WAG combined. The microlight championship was organized at Beas de Segura airfield which had received a considerable amount of funding for new infrastructure, but there was no space to run a Paramotor championship on the same site.

The only options available to run the Paramotor championship was in a rather unsuitable agricultural field 2 Km from the airfield which had no facilities at all, including electricity, or to run a 'mobile championship' in the style of the well-established 'Ruta de Guadaquivir' competition, moving daily along the route Beas de Segura, Cordoba, La Puebla de los Infantes, Villenueva del rio y Minas, Sevilla, Lebrija to Sanlucar de Barrameda.

It was thought that the expense of setting up either event would be similar but the 'mobile' option would offer a better return in terms of publicity, which was half the objective of the World Air Games.
