Thoroughly analysing other one loft races to tackle future problems
Team Family Bacalu has been participating in one loft racing successfully since 2012. As participants, they were able to see how organisations manage the race and provide results and what problems they were faced with and how they tackled them. All that information allowed Mr Danut Bacalu to establish a one loft race which could tackle all those problems, or at least be prepared for them. A race by and for fanciers who are not afraid of competing with the best and who have faith in their own birds. A race which foresees in every single problem that could occur when participating in and organising a one loft race so every fanciers gets the best experience possible.

Perfect racing conditions and location in Romania
The Europa Master Pigeons One Loft Race will be organised during the months of July, August and September because that is the best time to race pigeons in Romania, guaranteeing a most honest race. All pigeons will be trained daily if weather allows and their results, whether training or prize-winning races, will immediately appear on the Benzing Live website after the pigeon arrives so every fancier can follow the performances of his or her bird(s). In order for each bird to have equal chances, the organisation will darken the birds so they all have more or less the same wing for the final race. They will fly from south to north, often with head winds. Temperatures are around 25°C in mainly dry weather without daily or long periods of rain. The lofts are situated in the village of Baia in the Moldova river valley, between the Moldova river and the motorway connecting the north and south of Romania. So two important orientation points for the pigeons, in addition to perfect weather circumstances for pigeon racing.
