The Norwegian-Turkish alliance has spent the summer break based in Terracina overhauling engines, re-rigging Zabo-Isiklar and carrying out one or two modifications and fixes. “Our commitment to the Championship is 100% despite the problems and bad luck we have had and overcome and we are determined to get back to competing for the win,” said team principal Jan Zaborowski. “Aside from some standard engine work, we fixed the oil line issue that side-lined us in race 2 in Istanbul and have further strengthened the sides of the boat. We have also carried out some cosmetic work to be compliant with UIM rulings.”
Driver Ugur Isik and throttleman Christian Zaborowski sit in fourth spot in the points table, 28 points shy of leaders’ Victory and behind HUB Team Australia and LF10. But the position does not reflect their season in which they have produced some of their best racing and performances.
The duo picked up a second in qualifying and in race 1 in sanya, having led Victory for over half the race and a remarkable second in race 1 in Istanbul in an all but rebuilt boat.
The deficit they face is a result of registering two no-points tallies; one after crashing out in Sanya and the second a mechanical problem in Istanbul.
But Zaborowski [Jan] is confident that they will be on the pace and challenging for the win in Italy.
