NATHAN OUTTERIDGE TEASES PERMANENT SAILGP DRIVER SEAT IN LATEST EPISODE OF RACING ON THE EDGE
The latest episode of Racing on the Edge, in partnership with Rolex, is now live, and unfolds the story behind on-off SailGP driver and renowned ‘wind whisperer’, Nathan Outteridge. One of the sport’s best foiling athletes, the two-time Olympic medallist has remained without a driver seat throughout Season 4. The behind-the-scenes docuseries delves into the pressures weighing on Outteridge’s career, the challenges of life as a step-in driver and his remarkable come-back to the sport after a near-fatal car accident. The episode drops eight days ahead of the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix which is returning to Whakaraupō, Lyttelton Harbour on March 23-24.
Filmed during the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix in Sydney, the latest installment of Racing on the Edge also delves behind the scenes during the intense final three-boat podium race featuring Tom Slingsby’s Australia, New Zealand – at the time driven by Nathan Outteridge – and Nicolai Sehested’s ROCKWOOL Denmark. The pressure was on both for Slingsby to win his first SailGP event of the season and Outteridge to demonstrate what he’s made of and try and secure a full time spot in the league.
