F1H2O

SHARJAH, UAE - Thursday, December 12, 2013 - Mad Croc's Latvian pilot Nikita Lijcs left his rivals in his wake after an interesting 2nd race in the Championship for F-4S outfits.

In the first heat Team Atlantic's German driver Mike Szymura had to settle for second best and today he again found one faster as he chased the leader home.

Team Sweden's Nicklas Friberg retired after holding third place for 8 laps but not before he was passed by Chinese Bingchen Wu. After Friberg retired yellow flags appeared and the pace boat and we assumed it was because the Swede was on the racing line.

In fact a turn buoy had broken adrift and the fleet followed the pace boat. Once the green flag was raised Team Nautica's pint sized Alberto Comparato appeared from nowhere and was challenging Wu and not surprisingly the Chinaman lost control on the pit turn allowing Comparato to claim 3rd place, even Team Qatar's Khalid Al Kuwari managed to pass Wu leaving Team China in 5th place while Qatar's second boat driven by Mohamad Al Obaidly clinched 6th place just a few seconds ahead of Rashed Al Remeithi of Team Abu Dhabi.
