Welcome to the AVSIM Race ForumThe Microsoft Flight Simulator Around-the-World Race is an annual event conducted between the top flight simulation websites. Enthusiasts from each site gather online to fly their team's virtual baton around the world as fast as possible. The race was first run in 2003. From the beginning, the race has been an open contest with the simple objective of having fun.Team AVSIM has competed in this race since its inception.
