About
Doug DeVos’ USA flagged Quantum Racing team are now five times overall champions, circuit winners in 2013, 2014 2016, 2018 and 2022, now clear ahead of Azzurra’s triumphs in 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2019.
They finished the foreshortened 2021 season just one point behind champions Sled and that hurt, so close and yet so far.
It is all change for the Quantum Racing program in 2023. Renamed Quantum Racing powered by American Magic, they are focused on bringing in and training up young talent Among the new faces are Harry Melges IV who will steer Quantum Racing, powered by American Magic , Victor Diaz de Leon is navigator-strategist who will work closely with new tactician, America’s Cup and Ocean Race winner, John Kostecki who guided Platoon to two TP52 World Championships. Sara Stone sails on the mid bow and new grinder is Scott Ewing.
Along with super coach James Lyne they run probably the most comprehensive data collection and performance analysis programme on the circuit, working to the benefit of team Vayu and Gladiator which are both part of the Quantum programme this season.
