The 3rd round of the UIM E1 Race Bird World Championship is taking place in Marbella ‘Puerto Banus’.
Monegasque driver Lisa Caussin- Battaglia and her team-mate are both members of TEAM BLUE RISING (India), which will conclude the 2024 season in Hong Kong in November.
Unfortunately, the weekend got off to a poor start in qualifying for the 3rd time this season for TEAM BLUE RISING, who finished in 9th place, more than 10 seconds off pole position, as the weather was not favourable to the Le Rocher resident due to the open sea (wind and waves).
“The BLUE RISING TEAM managed to qualify for the final (which ensured at least 4th place in this event) thanks to its best result of 2nd in the semi-finals, which triggered a huge emotion for our PILOT MC (see instagram E1 series).
“The next day in the final, TEAM BLUE RISING broke the hull of their boat due to the weather conditions (wind and waves) and finished last in the final.
This result in Spain means that Lisa Caussin-Battaglia’s team has regained a place in the 2024 E1 Series World Championship (6th place).
The next event will be held in Monaco in 2 months’ time on 28 July 2024, and many of the teams will have to repair their damaged boats, as the Monegasque waters are likely to have the same weather conditions.
