All good points

I would imagine a first start date and time and then it's who gets to Darwin first

Just like the original.

Participants will organise their own clearances and support.

The minimum rules necessary.

Probably start not before June 1919 so can get through before the worst of the monsoon.

Probably not allow the dumping of batteries en route.

May end up with some different classes otherwise Mr Piccard could win with his existing aircraft and we do want to drive innovation over the next three years.

I would say that the same crew must make the full journey.

No prelim flights. Too expensive to organise.

Whoever gets to Darwin first. Just like the first race.
