| Negotiator takes the Podium |
| Monday, 19 November 2007 | |
 After a troublesome week with reduced practice time due to 2 bad fuel pumps, and set-up struggles, the Race in Qatar last Saturday ended up to be this years best so far."From 7th start position, we had a good start, and worked our way up to 4th place. We had some good fights with Jotun and Qatar 95, and this was a very good race for us," says Bard. "Since Bjørn and Steve broke an engine at their position as number 2 in the race, we moved up to third position. The boat was working perfectly all the way." For a team that has been working so hard the entire season, the podium place felt like a nice reward. Now, the team is moving to Dubai for the last 2 races for the season. Here the team will change engines to new and fresh ones for the coming 2 events.
