LATEST NEWS! 07.05.2008 DISAPPOINTING 4th PLACE IN ROUEN  (Click on picture to enlarge) Marit and the IXE Team had a hard 24 hour race this year. The new boat of the team was not balancing well and in the rough water conditions the drivers had some major handling problems. Despite the bad balance Colin managed to drive into the lead of the Class 2 within the first hour before he nosedived the boat really hard in the waves and came out with some damages on the boat. Luckily Colin was unhurt, but the boat canopy, back cowling, pickle forks and nose had to change. And so it went on for 24 hours.... With the team a number of times on the shore repairing both boat and engine, it was impossible to get a podium this year. A bit disappointing, but a least we finished. – Had this been my first time in Rouen, I would have been happy to finish 4th, but we came there to win and didn’t, says Marit.  29.04.2008 BUSY WEEK FOR MARIT!  (Click on picture to enlarge) It’s now time for the annual 24 hour race of Rouen. The race is set Wednesday to Thursday this week and Marit is now with the IXE Team in France. Marit will race with Colin Jelf, Yves and Frederik Roguez in boat number 23. The boat is new this year and testing shows some good speed. The weather forecast says heavy rain and temperatures down to 6 degrees so it will be a tough night for the drivers. After the race, Marit will head down to Portugal for the second round of the F1 World Cup on Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned for more updates during the week. 24.04.2008  In between the racing there’s time for some music. This version of the song One Moment In Time is taken live from yesterdays show at Wallmans Salonger in Copenhagen. On vocals is Marit Strømøy accompanied by Frederik Von Wachenfeldt on the piano.
