The Dongfeng Race Team became the first Chinese-flagged campaign to win the Volvo Ocean Race after winning a tense and exciting final leg on Sunday from Gothenburg, Sweden to The Hague in The Netherlands. Caudrelier also gave a shout out to Dongfeng Motor Corp - the Wuhan-based truck and car manufacturer that bankrolled the campaign. A spokesman for Dongfeng Motor praised the team for overcoming the physical and mental challenges presented by some of the most extreme sailing environments on earth. Carolijn Brouwer, 44, of The Netherlands alongside Marie Riou of France and Justine Mettraux of Switzerland are the first women sailors to win the Volvo Ocean Race. "Horace" also had a prediction: "In the future, there will be more Chinese sailors winning and getting results like this."
