  Early start to beat the Mistral  
     
 
04 10 2011, Audi TP52 World Campionship
 
     
 

Preparations started before sunrise to allow the Audi TP52 World Championship race fleet to leave the dock at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda as early as possible to try and beat the arriving Mistral.

 
     
     
 

Racing was due to start at 0900hrs, already the breeze was picking up early morning with more than 30kts expected. The plan was to get in as many races as possible before it becomes too windy.

 

The top of the standings are locked with three boats on the same 10points tally, even if it is the world champions Quantum Racing which hold the theoretical lead on tie-break after four races.
It is some months now, July in Cagliari, since the 52 Series fleet raced in winds more than 20kts for any sustained period, so this could be an interesting and decisive penultimate day.
