Today is race day and we're kicking off now with the Budapest Challenger Cup!
If you want to get the lowdown on the six Challengers flying here today...
We are back now with the next two Challenger pilots to fly and it's Berger up first...
The 28-year-old is the current start of the competition and has shown immense promise...
He's 8 points clear at the top of the standings and is consistently strong
He's green on the first and second split time!
Defending his 2016 title, Berger looks set for a future place in the Master Class if he can hold on to it in 2017
Berger is green all the way and handles the challenging conditions beautifully... it's a 1:09.946 and he easily moves into 1st place as we cross the halfway point of the race
Poland's Luke Czepiela is up next and looking to make the podium again here after a 3rd place in San Diego
Current Master Class pilot Petr Kopfstein shares his thoughts on the new rising star of the Challenger Cup: "Berger flew a beautiful line and really clean. He's consistent and his times are on the top level."
Last to fly today in the 3rd race of 2017 is Genevey...
Here comes the pilot flying under the Hungarian flag...
But that's a buzzer after a nervous start... it's too high at Gate 5 and then another penalty for incorrect level at gate 11... this isn't going to be the result he was hoping for after yesterday's success
One of the biggest upsets was from defending World Champion, Matthias Dolderer, who over G'd and will face off against Muroya
While one of them could easily take the Fastest Loser place, there are no guarantees in this sport... so we'll have to wait and see how it all unfolds
It's the first stop in Europe and the halfway point of the season, with a trio of pilots really starting to break away at the top – Sonka, Muroya and Dolderer
But there are plenty of others chasing them... Matt Hall is getting back to form with his new Edge 540, Petr Kopfstein is really making great headway and both Goulian and Velarde are on the up...
And Brageot is first to fly today and he will have his work cut out trying to beat Matt Hall in this knockout round...

Viel Glück Matthias, also for Matt and Pete a fan from Germany.
