Saturday, 15 November: Germany's Mike Szymura took overall honours in round 3 of the F4S Trophy in Qatar with a comfortable start-to-finish win in race 2 to complete the win-double on Doha Bay.

The Team F1 GC Atlantic driver got the jump on a slightly overzealous pole-sitter Khalid Al Kuwari to lead into turn one and was unchallenged and well clear on lap 13 when backmarker Ronny Mathys tipped his boat over bringing out the yellow flag allowing the field to bunch up.

Szymura was unfazed and after being held for three laps under yellow raced away at the restart to take the chequered flag and his fourth win of the year by 3.92seconds.

Sixteen-year-old Briney Rigby trailed Qatar's Al Kuwari for nine of the 20 laps before finding her way passed, her move immediately mirrored by Jan Andre Landsnes who followed the young Australian home to the chequered flag to take second overall ahead of Rigby, taking her second podium in two events.

Mohammed Al-Obaidly was elevated to fourth place ahead of teammate Al Kuwari who was given a post-race one lap penalty for a jump start, with F4S debutant Mickus Sigitas finishing in sixth, Wu Bingchen retiring on lap 18 after an eventful couple of final laps of his race hooking twice at the same turn.

With two events to go in Abu Dhabi [20-21 November]and Sharjah [18-19 December] Mike Szymura is closing in on his second Championship and heads the points table on 95, with Briney Rigby in second on 54, six points ahead of Jan Andre Landsnes.
