Home Againโ€ฆ Now the Real Work Begins! ๐Ÿ

Last weekend Ian Blacker and JRM Racingโ€™s Jamey F Stallard hit the road for a whistle-stop trip to Italy to collect the Team Kingfisher F2 APX DAC boat and bring her home back to the UK. ๐Ÿ

The trip included a pit stop in Belgium, where Bea Capiau kindly organised the rebuild of our gearbox that we dropped off on the way outโ€ฆ and it was rebuilt and ready to collect on the way back! Now thatโ€™s first class, super-quick service! ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ”ง

Despite the tight schedule, there was still time to enjoy a lovely lunch hosted by Guido Cappellini aboard the DAC HQ houseboat in San Nazzaro. The Team Kingfisher boat was transferred onto the DAC generously loaned trailer before beginning the journey home and navigating the Euro tunnel & UK customs.

A massive thank you to everyone who made this possible:
๐Ÿ‘ Team Abu Dhabi & Guido Cappellini
๐Ÿ‘ JRM Racing & Jamey Stallard
๐Ÿ‘ Nico Van Akelyen & Bea Capiau
We genuinely couldnโ€™t have done it without your help and support. Thank you! ๐Ÿ‘

Now the boat is back on its own trailer in the Team Kingfisher workshop for modifications before we hit the water for some all-important testing. Bring it on! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ

Round 2 F2 World Championship this weekend, with Ian Blacker in the driving seat in Brindisi, Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

The UIM F2 World Championship arrives in Brindisi for the Gran Premio d'Italia, with 17 boats on the entry list and two days of action ahead on the Adriatic harbour circuit.

Round 1 in Klaipeda set the tone for what looks like a tight season.

Mathilda Wiberg won the Grand Prix of Lithuania from lights to flag, with Peter Morin second and Edgaras Riabko third after a race spent lap after lap unable to see through Morin's spray on his visor.

Hilmer Wiberg dominated the first two qualifying sessions but was overhauled by his sister in the Q3 shootout, and finished fourth in the race.

Brindisi brings a similar field back together, with Wiberg looking to extend her championship lead and Riabko, Morin and both Hilmer Wiberg and Peter Morin all looking for a different outcome.

Scrutineering and administrative checks are today.

Qualifying is tomorrow, with the Grand Prix itself on Sunday evening at 18:30 local time.

Entry is free for spectators.

Great to have the Team back out on the F2 World Championship series. It started in Klaipฤ—da, Lithuania last weekend ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘

A weekend of exciting debuts, with the TeamKingfisher 250APX making its first appearance in the World Series, and Ian Blacker stepping into the driving seat for his F2 World Championship debut.

A solid performance all round saw us secure a P9 finish, providing the perfect foundation to build the rest of the season on ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘

Weโ€™d like to thank everyone involved in hosting such a superb event - including all the organisers, officials, rescue teams and all our supporters. Weโ€™re looking forward to the next round in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and continuing to develop the boat and set-up throughout the championship! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
