Algarve, Portugal
– Switzerland’s Neel Jani emerged
victorious from an action packed Feature race at Vodafone A1GP Algarve, The
result means Jani now has ten A1GP victories to his name – more than any other
driver in the history of the sport. Portugal’s
Filipe Albuquerque drove a fantastic race to come through to second, while
Fairuz Fauzy was third for Malaysia.
Ireland’s
Adam Carroll finished second on the road, but a subsequent penalty dropped him
to fifth.
Switzerlandtherefore regained
its championship lead with 88 points from Ireland
(86) and Portugal (82)
however if dropped scores were taken into account at this stage, Ireland would
still remain at the top of the championship by two points.
Race-winner Neel Jani said:
“There was everything in it (the race). Coming from third, having second, then
to the pit stop and getting the lead, losing the lead and having Adam really
put me under pressure at the end. We were a bit lucky today and we were very
unlucky yesterday so it’s a balance.

十九艘帆船今午在六至八節東風下於維多利亞港起航,向菲律賓北面之聖法蘭度進發,出戰兩年一度之「聖法蘭度帆船大賽」。
經過數星期之準備,數艘賽艇急不及待在起點處偷步出錯。在比賽過程,東北風漸見加強,最後各賽艇在理想風速下順利駛離香港。領先到達香港東面的通道,鯉魚門海峽是「Strewth號」。
是次賽事參賽船隊集經驗老手及首次揚帆中國海的新手,其中包括體積最大之「Moonblue 2號」,其擁有超過二十年聖法蘭度帆船賽之經驗,及是次出賽之最小型賽艇「Red Kite II號」,亦包捨最大支兼全華人船隊之「Tipsy Frenz號」。「Tipsy Frenz號」船長陳念樑稱希望更多本地船員可參與離岸賽,這役帶上四名本地離岸賽新手出戰。勇敢的「Red Kite II號」船長Anthony
Root稱相信以船上之極基本設施足以驅使他們積極以最短時間完成航程,但承認位於呂宋島之惡名遠播之無風洞可能令他們的士氣大挫。在去年「勞力士中國海帆船賽」於途中失掉船底之穩向板,在有驚無險下安全回航之「Strewth號」再次出戰離岸賽,決心向二零零一年所創之49小時55分12秒的紀錄挑戰。這次將會是「Blauwvoet號」離岸賽處女之航,而「Long Reef號」則是這賽事唯一的多體船。
