212973The World Cup is over and now I tell you ...: The co-pilot, for logistical reasons, did not participate and Jennifer raced alone. In the first race on Saturday the sea was very rough and it was very windy. Many boats were damaged and some drivers were hurt.
Jennifer was third in the race and made its fastest lap in her class but ... suddenly the engine stops .. the motor cover is removed and is suddenly thrown into the boat, breaking three spark plugs ... Race over for Jennifer.
Another round was scheduled for Saturday but was canceled because the sea increasingly worse.
Sunday morning, after a short briefing at 8:30 it was decided to make one more run (for a total of 2 rounds instead of 3).
Jennifer does a great start but ... still has some engine problem and does not make as it should. Despite this Jennifer tries to get through, but ... suddenly turns off the engine ... an unexpected problem on the battery. Jennifer does not even want to think about retiring, she opened the hood, work .. and goes again! At the end wins a second race in second place and finished third in the World C.!
The only female pilot and, as always, the youngest in the race ... ;-)
Jennifer would like to acknowledge his team, his family, all friends that were close, sponsors ... especially WILKINSON SWORD who believed in her.
Thanks also to the Powerboat Federation Switzerland.
Jenny :p
