GP Runabout World Champion of 2011 and 2012, James Bushell managed to clean the field in Moto 2 and defend his #1 plate from last two years. Although many other riders appeared to be very strong this year, like Aero Sutan Aswar from Indonesia who won first Moto, James focused really hard and won the last one and he clinched the overall title for third consecutive year. So Jarred Moore from South Africa finished second and Aero got the third place in the podium.

Chris MacClugage Team rider of Bullett Racing show to everyone that he did not become a multi world champion by chance. He wone the first moto of the class by riding his V2 Triple cylinder SX-R to the limit. On Saterday morning is the second moto. Klipper showed up very strong too. Who is going to win?

Stock Runabout class is the shop window of every company who produces aftermarket parts for watercraft racing. It is the class where the perfectly tuned stock hull and the detailed -but very limited- tune of the engine play key role to the overall performance. R&D won Novice Runabout Stock at the World Finals by supporting riders, Abdulaziz Al-Omar from Kuwait. The young rider on board his R&D prepared Sea-Doo RXP-X got ahead of the Kawasaki pack by winning the holeshot and each one of the two motos of the Class. A great success for R&D, a company that is well known for more than 35 years for its superior products and experience in developing performance parts for personal watercrafts. The boats were prepared by using standard, of the R&D self, performance parts as they were tested a year ago by www.jetskiworld.gr (Read the complete test of R&D Pro Stock Sea-Doo RXP-X on Tests section). Abdulaziz Al-Omar is sponsored by R&D, Sea-Doo Centre, Zain Telecom, Kuwait Finance House and Kuwait Investment Company.

Team 88motorsport.fi has been in trouble with their triple cylinder SX-R. The engine lasted almost 30 minutes while practising at Body Beach. According to Sammy Pajalin, owner of 88Motorsport.fi the Team from Finland was looking to buy a new engine. We hope they will make it to the starting line.
