Some will say PASSION is the gazoline of social network.
With over 600 000 views on Facebook, the impressive video of the collision between David Chassier #41 from Team Race Spirit and Chris MacClugage #46 during Race#3 of the P1 AquaX Pro Enduro of Daytona Beach on April 23rd 2017, we were able to measure what passionates people! It is important to mention again it was an accident and that in the end, the little argument ended up with hugs and laughs between the two pilots that are friends and that have high consideration for each other :)
That week-end was a sky high in emotions for David Chassier #41 during the first j=PWC race of the Championnat P1AquaX USA 2017 Pro Enduro that was held on the world's most famous beach of Daytona Beach, Florida during the 22 and 23 April 2017.
Official Results P1 AquaX Pro Enduro Daytona Beach 2017
After being the lonely ranger on a Kawasaki Ultra310 against all those Yamaha GP1800 or FXSVHO et few Sea Doo, David Chassier #41 had to show determination to get through the waves with a machine that was showing mechanical failure from the start of race 1. Knowing the Kawasaki Ultra310 weights 115 kilos more and a top speed of 15 km/h less compared to the Yamaha GP1800 when it works well, without a mechanic chief with us to find the problems, it was difficult to do better.
David Chassier ranked respectively 19/19/18 for a 23rd place Overall. Even if we think Kawasaki are the best PWC for endurance in this type of sea conditions, it might be better to put speed efficiency as a priority since the races only last 30 minutes.
The 25 pilots in Pro Enduro may have encounter worst race conditions, but most of them will agree to say that the 35 km/h wind 3 meters waves in a PWC circuit located in the middle of a shore break was a true physical and mental challenge. If we had to summarize in image the #JETSKIRODEO of Daytona Beach, we could choose the video that made over 600 000 views on Facebook, of the collision between David Chassier #41 and the 2016 Champion Chris MacClugage #46 on his FX SVSHO.
The Team Race Spirit would like to congratulate all pilots for their courage and make a special mention to the Frenchy. Nicolas Rius #217, who made a spectacular return at high level with a 2nd place on his GP1800 Riva Racing but will unfortunately not be able to race in heat 2 and 3 because of a back injury. Cyrille Lemoine #99, always so professional in his manner to handle a race knowing what happened last year in Daytona. He finishes 4th on the first heat with his GP1800 Riva Racing, but will be forced to give up his chance of scoring more points after his PWC was completely destroyed by another pilot landing on top while he was swimming to get back on it. Didier Chabert #222 was getting used to his new GP1800 Riva Racing, and was able to climb the scales heat after heat finishing respectively 15-13-9 for a 12th place Overall. A big thank you for the technical and moral help brought by Carla Chassier, Joelle Martin, Steve Boniface and Karine Paturel during this week-end :)
Bravo to top 3 of Daytona Beach 2017:
MacClugage,
Francis and
Aswar.
We would like to pass all the positive vibes it is possible to send to
Sea Doo PWC pilot Tim Ducat for a fast recovery after a really bad accident on a PWC recently, Get Well Soon...
