The 47th All-Stars GP event comes to a close in Osaka, Japan

The final two days of The 47th All Stars GP meet in Osaka were held on May 30 and May 31 with a mixture of results from the favourites and a long deserved victory for the overall winner. Hitoshi Shinozaki, 32 years old, from Fukuoka in Kyushu, took home the series, it being his first SG title in over 12 years months since he made his debut. Focusing on leading from the first mark was his sole strategy. Shinozaki's brother, Motoshi Shinozaki, is also a racer. There were mixed results from the big names, Shigeru Matsui, Chihiro Oyama, Miho Moriya and Motohiro Yoshikawa and it shows that consistency pays (as to does having a good engine). The next SG (Special Grade) is at BOATRACE Miyajima from June 23 ~ 28. . . . #boatrace #boatracer #racingboat #womanracers #hydroplane #championracer #boatinglife #boatlovers #dynamiteboatrace

Female racer, Miho Moriya hung on in front from the first mark to win race 6 on day 3 after finishing last in race 2 earlier in the day on this, the 6th day of The 47th All Stars GP meet in Osaka. In the same race, the only other female racer, Motoko Kagawa, finished 3rd with the overall current leader in 2020, male racer Motohiro Yoshikawa, dropping anchor at the bottom mark on the 3rd leg, to finish 5th. Chihiro Oyama, a 2nd generation female racer, following in her mother's footsteps, finished 5th in race 5 but recovered in race 9 to finish 3rd. Shigeru Matsui, currently the overall career winnings leader, seemed to like finishing lower in the ladder today but managed to finish in 3rd position under lights in race 12, the last race of the day. . . . #boatrace #boatracer #racingboat #womanracers #hydroplane #championracer #boatinglife #boatlovers #dynamiteboatrace

Chihiro Oyama failed to find her position going into the 2nd mark and came in last in race 11 on the 4th day of The 47th All Stars GP meet in Osaka. This left Miho Moriya some breathing space for her to arrive in 3rd in race 12, the final race of the day. Again, Shigeru Matsui (pictured) seems to be looking for the door also decided to come in last in the 5th whilst Motohiro Yoshikawa, current overall 2020 leader finished 3rd in the 8th race, his only race for the day. With another 2 days of racing to go, all the major racers will be looking for some redemption. . . . #boatrace #boatracer #racingboat #womanracers #hydroplane #championracer #boatinglife #boatlovers #dynamiteboatrace
