00:00It's crunch time as the 2025 TNT great race is just around the corner.
00:05Work continues to take place on vessels in all classes.
00:09That includes not in slow motion which races in the 60 mile per hour class.
00:14Throttleman Kern Coltus is pumped up ahead of the big day.
00:17The 2025 edition going in real happy again.
00:22Keeping up the spirits and this time we will reach Tobago.
00:27After our last little mishaps and stuff which was learning experiences,
00:33we got everything down pack right now.
00:36And the regattors would have given you some confidence going into the great race?
00:40Yes, they did. We had a very good season this year.
00:43Really good. They both surprised everyone and it kept together and no complaints.
00:51The navigator is Niklai Isaac who is making his great race debut.
00:55Whatever the case, he's ready for the seas.
00:58It's a lot of adrenaline. This is my first season, first complete season with the boat.
01:03It's a new experience for me so I'm super excited for the great race next week.
01:08And what sort of training have you done to be doing what you're doing for the great race?
01:13It's just it's on hand training I would say.
01:16So just with my experiences for this season regatta, this is my first great race.
01:23First experience for me.
01:24But Isaac isn't the only new member.
01:26Driver Alex Francis has also joined Norton Slow Motion.
01:30I'm really, really excited. This is my first year driving the boat actually.
01:34Right, in great race. I raced the regattors leading up to it.
01:38I was not suffering and looking for that experience.
01:41And what experience have you had before this?
01:45Before this, before this team none really. I got into it, this is my third year.
01:49Right, fairly new to it and I'm loving it so far.
01:53August 16th is the date of the race from the foreshore to Storby.
01:58Venud, now on you, Chiefs Sport.
