Congratulations to Spain SailGP Team for winning the $2M SailGP Season 4 Grand Final this weekend 🎉⛵4️⃣ Los Gallos defeated league heavyweights Australia and New Zealand who finished second and third respectively in the winner-takes-all Grand Final race. Botin said: “Beating the Kiwis and Aussies in the Grand Final here in San Francisco - it’s amazing. We’re over the moon. It’s been a big grind and we’ve been through a lot in this League - last season we were last in the scores, and look - this season we win! I think we have an amazing team; let’s see if we can keep it together and keep the ball rolling.” #SailGPGrandFinal #Season4 #globalracingchampionship #SailGP #PoweredbyNature #Season4champions #VamosLosGallos

🚨 News just in...! ⚡ Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team have been crowned SailGP's Season 4 Champions of the Impact League - the Podium for the Planet 🌍🏆 A world first, the Impact League runs alongside the SailGP Season Championship itself, and tracks the positive actions teams take to reduce their overall footprint and accelerate inclusivity in sailing. The Great Britain team have rounded off a hugely impactful season on and off the water to lift the highly coveted trophy and secure prize funds for their purpose partner, Protect Our Future, and their collaborative ambition to empower 3 million young people to take climate action by the end of Season 5. Emirates GBR had just a handful of points lead over runners-up ROCKWOOL Denmark SailGP Team - last season’s Impact League champions - and Switzerland SailGP Team in third place. SailGP's Chief Purpose Officer Fiona Morgan said: "I am incredibly proud to have delivered another year of the Impact League and it is great to see a new team winning - three different Champions in as many seasons - and such fierce competition with all teams upping their game across the season calendar. The global impact the Podium for the Planet delivers is unrivaled; working with world-class partners we’re creating a ripple effect in sailing and inspiring other sports. I am really thrilled for the Great Britain team and their Impact League title - they came into the season wanting to win and have delivered a super impactful calendar, with great initiatives across both social and environmental sustainability”.

Today, SailGP has launched new Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) features in the SailGP app – providing fans with an enhanced viewing experience of the league’s Season 4 Grand Final, taking place this weekend in San Francisco. Fans watching the teams go head-to-head on San Francisco Bay - either in person or tuning in from home - can enjoy an immersive 3D experience through SailGP's app simply by pointing their handheld iOS device towards the action unfolding right in front of them. The revolutionary new feature has been powered by LiveLineFX technology and use of the Oracle Cloud, which enables the global championship to process 1.15B data requests in real-time via 125 sensors from each of the ten state-of-the-art F50 catamarans per hour over T-Mobile’s 5G hybrid network solution. 👀 👉 https://lnkd.in/eaea3FrJ ⚡ #technologyandinnovation #augmentedreality #virtualreality #SailGP #globalracingleague #PoweredbyNature #Season4GrandFinal #SanFrancisco
