The Louis Vuitton Cup Final between INEOS Britannia and Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli is starting to resemble the most tense of penalty shoot-outs. Every time one team feels they have the upper-hand, the other responds and at the end of another truly outstanding day of super-high-octane racing in Barcelona, it's all square at 4-4 in this first-to-seven points series.
Two more races are planned for today, Wednesday October 2, when there is expected to be a change in the weather as the current southerly conditions give way to a lighter, potentially shiftier, easterly airflow.
Barcelona shoreside is reeling in awe this evening after seeing the fastest ever recorded speeds in an official race of the America's Cup. INEOS Britannia are claiming the record having logged 55.6 knots during a bear away, something that the packed crowds at the Race Village and the Fanzones at Bogatell and Plaça del Mar appreciated and applauded.
At 4-4 in the series, this deadlock must be broken eventually. Could it run to a last race decider? Only time will tell in this epic contest for the right to take on the Defender of the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand.
