Once again Wind Brasil Fortaleza delivered – only today the wind was more variable in both direction and strength! The racers will be happy with the decision to run 3 races today; gusty conditions are not everyones favourite conditions. But .. cream always rises to the top and consistancy of performance is all important.
Race winners today were Steve Allen (AUS0), Jesper Vesterstrom (DEN111) and Alberto Menegatti (ITA4)
Jesper had his best day of event so far – with a total on 9 pts scored for his 3 races; and with five more races to complete the series he could yet finish on the podium. The days two best finishers were Steve Allen and Wilhelm Schurmann (BRA999) each with 8 points from todays races. Steve extended his lead at the top; and Willhelm moved himself closer to a podium place. Alberto will be disapointed with his day, overall, although his race win kept him in second place. Gabriel Browne (BRA50) and Wojtek Brzozowski (POL10) will want to do better tomorrow if they are to maintain position or push for top place.
The schedule for the following days – 3 races on saturday; followed by 2 on sunday, when the racing will be covered live on TV , including the prize giving and podium straight from the finish of last race. More details tomorrow.
