UIM WORLD SPEED RECORD CERTIFICATE!

Now the 2011 racing season is over for me.
This has been a season with lots of trouble for me this year.

I have not run many races this year. I have focused on the World Championship and European Championship.

The first race was the 15th May, at Norsjø Akkerhaugen, Norway.
It was a good opening to the season for me. I got a 2nd place overall and 2 heat wins.

Race number two for me was my highlight of the season and also a higlight so far in racing for me.
It was the World Championship for GT-30 in Stewartby, Bedford, England. This was also the World Championship for GT-15 and a round of World Cup series for the F4 this weekend.
We traveled from home 15th June for the ferry from Oslo to Kiel, Germany to then core through Germany, Holland, Belgium and France for the ferry to England.

Then it was time for the self race.
Heat 1 I got a 4th place.
Heat 2 I was in 3rd place, but a buoy blew out of position, so there was a red flag and a restart resulted.
The restart, I got was very bad. There was too little space between the boats at the start, so there was not enough water left for me.
Heat 3, I drove well and moved up many places, but I was unfortunate enough to roll in a turn.
Heat 4, cheated my engine a bit after the roll, but completing the heat gained points for me.

I got a total of 8th place in the World Championship.
