Choppy conditions and strong winds forced officials to cancel the second race at the Xiamen Grand Prix in China on Sunday.

Winds in excess of 15 knots and rough conditions meant the course was deemed unsafe and the teams now head to Dubai at the end of November to decide the outcome of the 2017 UIM XCAT World Championship.

Team Australia’s Brett Luhrmann and his Norwegian co-pilot Pål Virik-Nilsen lead the championship by 11 points from Victory Team’s Salem Al-Adidi and Eisa Al-Ali heading back to the Middle East.
