I looked ove and saw sponsons heading at me. That was coming out of turn 3.
PS the flyby was not intentional, we were side by side gong through the sweeper at over 160mph and we were turning as tight as we could at that speed. With a rudder boat, we would have went strait into the crowd if I let off the throttle.
