Correction: one left turn is easy. Most pilots can handle three good left turns in a row (one complete lap) with a few hours practice. Six turns gets dicey.
Twenty-seven good left turns(nine laps) with traffic around you and a crosswind at 10 mph, gusting to 20mph, puts you in the 90th percentile of RC pilots worldwide; you have every right to be proud of yourself. But you haven't won the heat.
Each heat requires 30 good left turns at a constant altitude with complete focus and precision. Try it, then dismiss it as "no challenge".
