This year Nicolas Rius appeared smarter and faster on his FZR though he was DQ-ed at the qualifiers due to a upward faced water fitting. Though, his FZR was scary fast and he proved it by winning King's Cup almost a month after the World Finals. Read the exclusive test ride and full report under the Race Tests section.

Mike Follmer, owner of R&D Factory Yamaha Team Follmer, announced today that he has entered two teams that will be aboard pair of new Factory Yamaha FZR Wave Runners in the Sixth Annual Hot Products APBA MARK HAHN MEMORIAL Havasu 300 Endurance Race being contested on February 27, 2010 on Lake Havasu in Arizona. This event will mark the second time that the new FZR Wave Runner, with its 1.8 liter supercharged Yamaha Marine engine, has been in endurance competition. This 300 mile 6 hour endurance race with its fuel stops and rider changes is the perfect place for the SHO FZR with its more powerful supercharged engine, that when coupled with its overall weight advantage makes it a superior competition package. Mike Follmer will be riding the team’s primary entry in the Pro Am 4-Stroke Open Class and will be once again sharing riding duties with Tony Beck, the owner of Walt’s Motorsports in Lake Havasu City, who is a long time supporter of this event. Walt’s will also be joining all the other Factory R&D Yamaha Team Follmer sponsors in providing support for the team's effort to once again try to capture the overall championship for Yamaha. The team’s second entry will compete in the 4-Stroke Stock Class with the all female and all Lake Havasu resident team of Nicky Goudreau and Lark Schmitt. Nicky and Lark finished 2nd in Class and 12th overall last year on a SHO this year will be there first time on the new FZR. They have raced in this event since its beginning. They both have carried away several APBA National Class Championships, and have distinguished themselves as champions on stand-up and sit-down PWC’s in APBA Regional and National closed course events. We would like to extend a special THANK YOU to all of our long time supporting sponsors: Yamaha Motor Corp USA, R&D Performance Products, Jetpilot, Oakley, NGK, Hydro Turf, Skat Trak, F&L Racing Fuel, Simpson Helmets, Walt’s Motorsports, Monster Energy, Riva Yamaha, Motul Lubricants, Exotic Signs.
