The zapcats were at Watergate Bay, Cornwall. Small, light and powerful inflatables race a course set through the surf close to shore. Great to watch but pretty hairy for the crew.

TRG’s Duncan Ende and Spencer Pumpelly finished third in Saturday’s running of the Grand-Am Rolex Series KONI Sports Car Challenge race today at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Mid-Ohio’s 2.2-mile twisty rolling terrain does not favor the Porsche GS cars, but the team had a solid run.
