It was an impressive turnaround since Team4speed was six points behind after Round 2. The comeback began in Round 3 and lasted all the way through the 8-round meet.

The NSL Reality TV camera was with the team when the final round was shown on the large screen at the dropzone and captured a very happy French delegation. The celebration began as soon as the winning number of points was shown on the screen before the working time was over. It was the sixth 4way gold medal for coach Philippe Schorno. He earned four of them as a 4way competitor in the late 80s and early 90s and now added two in VFS 4way as a coach.

It shows the second consecutive heavy blow that the Golden Knights delivered to the French 8way world champions who did not find themselves on the world champion level until Round 5. Aerodyne Maubeuge then eventually picked up the pace and improved the performance significantly.

However, winning Round 5 and Round 6 was not enough so far, as the Golden Knights protect their 4-point lead very successfully even though France has won three rounds over two highscores for the Golden Knights. Both teams tied their scores in three rounds, and the big wins of the US Army team in Round 3 and Round 4 are the main factors in the game until this point in time. Two more rounds are coming...
