RELEKTA READY TO RACE
Friday, 15 April, ABU DHABI (UAE): Zabo Racing’s team principal Jan Zaborowski is confident that Relekta will make the start line for race 2 of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Looking back on the incident, Zaborowski C was also a little surprised that the boat rolled. “We had a bad start but simply because I didn’t know what was going on,” he said. “We didn’t see the flag and nothing came over the radio, so we were late getting going.
“Then we started to push a little and make up places and maybe we pushed a little too much. But it was a little strange. I think we caught a wave that lift the boat and we jumped sideways into the turn. She turned a little and I was thinking we will just spin out, but she hit the water very hard and went over.”
Christian also pointed out that he and Ugur had been discussing a couple of laps earlier where their limit was. “It seems it was c1 buoy – lap 4.” he said with a smirk.
An all night work vigil by the Relekta crew has put Ugur Isik and Christian Zaborowski back in contention, 18-hours after a spectacular exit from race 1, crashing-out half way round lap 4 when running in fourth place. “The effort by the whole team has been just phenomenal,” said team manager Adrian Annett.
