NMP-PCH Hayabusa was overdue for a live update before the start of the competition on Friday morning, and the whole lineup agreed to spend a few minutes in front of camera and microphone, including videographer Danny Jacobs and alternate Jeroen "Bob" Nollet.
Danny Jacobs knows the team very well, with the different lineups over the years, as he joined Hayabusa in 2007. He had his own take why Hayabusa seems to get closer to the ultimate goal. Jeroen "Bob" Nollet has the slot that Dennis Praet had for a few years before he became the Hayabusa Point. He will not be in the ground this weekend and has accepted a slot with Blackstock, a team from the United Kingdom.
Hayabusa began to work with Gary Smith as the head coach at the beginning of the 2012 season after years with Joey Jones. The video clip begins with a quick visit to the Hayabusa team room in DeLand where Gary Smith was in the middle of the debriefing to finish the training day.
French videographer Remy Grandcler was watching Hayabusa's debriefing, as well. He seems to be a Hayabusa fan, as he wished the Belgians well to win the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship, even though the French team in the Open Class, Aerodyne Aerokart, will try to win the same competition. The Hayabusa members don't expect themselves in 1st place Saturday evening or on Sunday. They have the 1st place in Dubai 2012 in mind and try to schedule their focus and energy accordingly. However, they will be well prepared for the race to the top spots this weekend.
