As the fifth event on the global sailing championship calendar, SailGP will make its debut in the world-famous French seaside resort of Saint-Tropez this weekend, September 11-12, for the France Sail Grand Prix.
As SailGP nears the midpoint of Season 2, there has been plenty of drama as the world's best athletes go head-to-head in identical, high-speed F50s. So far this season there have been capsizes, a notorious black flag, near misses, crashes, controversy, broken bones and continuous heated rivalries. Currently placed seventh, all eyes will be turning to the France SailGP Team and its eight time world champion driver, Billy Besson - featured in the newest episode of SailGP Racing on the Edge - to follow the Danish team's lead from Aarhus and win for the first time in front of a home crowd in Season 2.
