The Victory Team did not even show up to the opening round; we have reason to believe it’s partly due to the political situation surrounding XCat now. The Russian New Star Racing were unable to compete due to the situation in Ukraine. Now Team Abu Dhabi have packed up their gear, and they are going home with their two-boat team. The era of two boat teams has probably now ended, whether that’s a positive is not clear and only time will tell where this series is heading.
