The Grand Prix envelope has almost flat sides and a gently curving top. It flies well and falls as straight as a stone. It is as easy to fly as a regular shaped balloon. The natural shape of top-half reduces stress in panels above equator which concludes more safe flying and prolonged lifetime of the fabric.

The Extreme Racer envelope has been described as a sharpened rugby ball. An XR is harder to fly than a Grand Prix but the rewards are staggering! These balloons nip up and down in the twinkling of an eye and offer the ultimate competition performance for the no compromise pilot.
