Nils Slakteris will fight for the title at the F-4 speedboat at the World Cup over the weekend, where he is the leader before the last two races. At least four more rivals can qualify for gold, so nothing can be considered guaranteed, Slakteris emphasized on Latvian television on Monday.
Before the last two rounds, the Slakteris has scored a three -point lead over his closest rival Frenchman Jean Batist in Tom, and the hope of the highest position remains several more pilots. In the last two stages, Lake Viverone will be able to earn 40 points near Turin with victories, so the distribution of places can still change significantly. Slakteris has no doubt that he has to drive safely and convincingly in the last race to succeed.
Slakteris hopes that it will not have as many problems in Italy as before in Belgium, as the team has invested a lot of work to succeed.
Nils wants to overtake his father, Uvi Slakteris, who is starting in the F-2 class, and could be the son’s goal for next year. The next level in the water motorsport up after the F-4 is F-2, where this year Nils tried his hand for the first time, but he does not see a more powerful difference in a more powerful class.
“It’s not quite difficult to transfer [uz F-2]Only this is a financial issue, depending on the sponsors or the wallet itself, “Nils Slakteris said in a conversation with Latvian Television.” As you want, each class is different and each class is at different costs. “
Nils started ride 31 in the race, inspired by Latvian hockey team goalkeeper Edgar Masalsk. However, once in a race, another rider had already applied with such a number and Nils has now moved to his father’s 51.
The F-4 speedboat can reach 120 kilometers per hour, but the feeling of speed on the water is much higher than in a car on the road, Nils Slakteris explained. With the F-2 speedboat, he will be able to reach 200 kilometers per hour.
