During the competition flight, both gliders had briefly lost sight of each other. After contacting each other by radio for a rendezvous point to continue the flight together, there was contact in the air at approx. 80 -120 km/h despite collision warning devices. One winglet of one glider was torn off, the second glider suffered scratches on the fuselage and a small tear on the wing.
