Richard Weatherley (E34) had a fantastic Sunday at Calshot winning both the E Class event and achieving the highest laps with 104, and the fastest lap with 16.264 seconds in an end of day Shoot Out.
The OMRA wireless timing system worked perfectly even with the bridge a long way from race control out on the water and zero signal loss. It was decided to make more use of the announcer feature with current race details, driver positions and timings being called out on the PA more regularly during the race. With the added OMRA classic rock playlist in the background of course.
Calshot saw a strong number of X-Class entries. However during the afternoon session, most racers were experiencing technical problems and X-Class racers are still continuing to develop their electric boats for offshore endurance racing and reach the 20min heat benchmark.
The next race is Weymouth on 6th and 7th of July.
