Nicolas Rius after wining the World Finals did not allow anyone to have a look at his special prepared GP1300R. He used a different set up from what he had used in Europe during summer. The trickiest part is the triple exhaust pipes that are designed by his team and are fabricated by Factory Pipe. The chambers have different length; therefore, they provide different timing to the engine operation, spreading in a unique way the power band and adding simultaneously more power. Additionally, he has used side draft Spectrum carbs, Rius Racing cylinder heads and MSD ignition. His mechanic Christophe Girello has prepared the engine and hull.

Frenchman Steven Dauliach has won World and European titles riding ski’s. Though, this year he will make his first appearance on a Runabout, he already practices on a RivaRacing Kawasaki Supercharged.

The team has not announced yet its official plans for this season, though we already know that Dauliach is a determined racer and he will raise the level of competition in the class, in Europe and at the World Finals. Best of luck Steven!

Multi time champion, Nicolas Rius gives technical riding seminars for riders around the world.

The French rider Cyrille Lemoine was using a factory Rotax engine on his RXP, which utilized double fuel injectors, special programmable ignition, tricky pistons and a detonation sensor. The Frenchman’s engine was one of the only five that Rotax made especially for selected riders. One of his mechanics informed me that the engine output excess reached 300bhp. Even though, mechanical problems did not let Lemoine to participate in the Pro Runabout Open at the World Finals.
