The inaugural Techno European Team Racing Championships got underway today in Mondello, Sicily. The championship is part of the world famous World Festival on the Beach Festival, now in its 25th edition![more]
Six teams lined up to challenge for the title – France, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Russia and Spain. The delayed start, waiting for the wind, meant only 2 “flights” of the planned first (of 2) round robins could be completed. The wind increased to 18-20 knots as racing progressed late into the afternoon. The day finished with 3 teams tied at the top – each with two race wins – France, Great Britain and Italy.
In the RSX class six teams were also competing for the 3rd annual championship, and with 3 flights completed Italy are leading with 3 race wins – ahead of New Zealand and Poland who are tied on 2 races apiece.
