Chilean QGP - Day 1

It was a magical flight, concluded with an ovation by his fellow competitors, all of whom had by then been retrieved. Uli Schwenk was the only finisher on day one of the Chilean GP. His wife, Elke, has a running commentary at http://www.uli-schwenk.de/index.php?page=news, but you have to be able to follow the German.
Live tracking available using Silent Wings viewer - the terrain file is huge 1.8gig!!
Day 2 was1. Foltin, 2. Schwenk, 3. Rocca, 4. Holighaus, 5. Kaufmann, 6. Gostner, 7. Gaude, 8.Errazuriz,9. Rodriguez, 10. Janssen, according to Elke, but no published results on the official website?
