[BeNZene]

At least it's won't be a down-trou.

Nice work that man.  Apparently race 2 is in about 10 minutes.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Imagine in the future, when the rich people are racing spaceships around asteroids.

[SteddieEddie]

Man that first race was so exciting!!

Great to see them so close, but not close enough. Seems you can match race in the boats

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Yes, very exciting.


Even the race this morning, USA got in front, only to have NZ overtake them again.

Tvnz website, why can't you stream without skipping?!

[Benji77]

[Bounty Hunter]

tuned in just in time to see us lose :/

eh, it's good for the regatta.

[Growler]

Oracle were all woops and wooooohooooos after winning 1 race, that gave me the impression they may not have been expecting to win any!

[Bounty Hunter]

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

WHAT THE FUCK :mad:

[private_hell]

any other international links for hte racing?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Another win to Team NZ!


Oracle played their Get out of jail free card and the second race has bee postponed.

[Growler]

ahahha oracle is fucked. That was a major fisting today. If oracle can somehow turn this around and win the series they will have done some magnificent sailing, I just can't see it happening though.

[Bounty Hunter]

Fuck Spithill is a bitchy little cunt

"They have an edge upwind so we played our card strategically."

In other words "we're going to get our ass kicked again, so we're going to delay the inevitable by effectively cheating.

I think they should be penalised for calling a postponement when they don't have a technical issue.

[Benji77]

I think they should be penalised for calling a postponement when they don't have a technical issue.

I think its fine they used their card. Would have been great to have the race tho.

Just means if they have a technical issue they just forfeit the next race.

[Spigalau]

They do have a technical issue, the issue is they are slow.

[The Demon Lord]

They do have a technical issue, the issue is they are slow.

Oooooooooo Snap

[Zarkov]

They do have a technical issue, the issue is they are slow.

I'm surprised how close they are given the design brief.

Could easily have been a huge difference in boatspeed.

Instead it's maybe a couple of knots VMG upwind.



I'm thinking TNZ had a problem when they lost a race to Oracle.

[Benji77]

so the youtube stream isn't available in NZ anymore and the TVNZ stream is rubbish. Anyone know of any better streams?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Why is the TVNZ stream is rubbish?


Apart form being rubbish quality.

[Benji77]

Getting stuttering/pauses etc. My internet connect should be be able to play it easy.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Your internet connection can't keep up with Team NZ, they are just too fast!


Another win!

Ballin'

Couldn't give the smallest fuck possible about rugby/cricket.

But to be the best in the world at racing those fucking awesome AC72 catamarans is so cool.

[Zarkov]

Nice to win a start for a change.

We wouldn't be looking so flash if the boat wasn't quicker.

[Retardobot]

Nice to win a start for a change.

Yeah, I've been thinking about how much of it is the team and how much of it is just the fact that the boat is better designed.

They should do what rugby does after the match and change shirts. Swap boats and see if either team are only as good as the tools.

[Bounty Hunter]

That's the best part of it for me.

New Zealand engineering vs the world.
