There are a couple of links to Sun Ship Game torrents on the web.
Give them a go.

Yeah I tried lots of those and google searches first. All the torrents
are offline. All the links to "Download it via HTTP here" are scams.
So I was unsuccessful.
My copy is a well-used NTSC VHS tape. The film is so good (as WPP
describes) that you really don't care about image quality. If the
above link doesn't work and Patch can't find it, I could have the
VHS burned to a non-regional DVD. Then just a matter of getting it
to Aus. Perhaps for the Club Class comp.
Thanks, we shall see how Patch goes, and I will keep scouring the
net :-)

My favourite wreck in The Sun Ship Game is when the shock wave goes
up the Cirrus wing as it hits the Marfa ramp, then the canopy goes
flying (several Cirrus canopies go flying in the film) and the tail
boom comes off. Pretty hard-charging contest flying in those days?
The look on the face of the fellow who landed "over the car, under
the traffic light" is priceless. Dehydrated? Only severely. George
cutting his Cirrus wing tips off with a wood saw appears to be
asking himself "should I have done that?" And Gleb is going through
a divorce during the comp and smokes cigarettes in the cockpit.
A must see!
Perhaps each recipient of Zulu Romeo and Sun Ship should incur a
$2.00 fine? Do the Juniors take PayPal?

Does anyone have a copy of "The Sun Ship Game"?
