POWERBOAT PILOT ENTERING HIS BOAT 19. MAN ASSISTING TO STEER A BOAT / BOAT RACING OFF STORY: The E1 World Championship, the world's first all-electric powerboat racing series, made its African debut in Lagos on Saturday (October 4), marking a milestone in its global expansion. The penultimate round of Season Two brings the series to its fourth continent. Lagos was chosen for its "energy, drive for change, and alignment with E1's values of sustainability, tourism and technology," CEO Rodi Basso told Reuters. E1 plans to expand to 12 teams from nine and increase the number of races to 15 from seven. The championship is seeking 20 million euros ($23.48 million) of fresh capital and is targeting a valuation of 500 million euros by 2030. Talks with investors, including several high-net-worth individuals, are ongoing, Basso said. On the water, Team Rafa reclaimed the championship lead from Team Brady by a single point after finishing second in Saturday's qualifying race. Team Brady is owned by National Football League legend Tom Brady and Team Rafa is associated with tennis star Rafael Nadal. Brady's team was hampered by technical issues. "Lagos will be the road to Miami," Basso said, referring to the season finale. Spectators welcomed the event. "It's been a wonderful experience,” said Tade Adekunle, who works in marketing. "I've never seen this kind of water race before. The crowd turnout was massive." Sandra Chioma, a programme manager, praised the event's impact on tourism. "It's amazing to see Lagosians enjoy this sport. Lagos State is doing a fantastic job. I'll definitely attend again." E1's RaceBird boats use zero-emission electric propulsion and foil technology to reduce environmental impact. The series also supports coastal conservation and marine research, said Basso. Celebrity owners including basketball great LeBron James and Ivorian former soccer player Didier Drogba are helping drive global visibility. "Their reach is compelling," Basso said. "It's an insurance for growth." The event marks a significant expansion for the championship, which is bringing sustainable motorsport to new audiences across the globe.

By Olesya Astakhova, Ahmad Ghaddar and Alex Lawler LONDON/MOSCOW (Reuters) -OPEC+ will raise oil output from November by 137,000 barrels per day (bpd), it said on Sunday, opting for the same fairly modest monthly increase as in October amid persistent worries over a looming supply glut. The group comprising the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries plus Russia and some smaller producers has increased its oil output targets by more than 2.7 million bpd this year, equating to about 2.5% of global demand. The shift in policy after years of cuts is designed to regain market share from rivals such as U.S. shale producers. Brent prices fell below $65 per barrel on Friday as most analysts predict a supply glut in the fourth quarter and in 2026 due to slower demand and rising U.S. supply. Prices are trading below this year's peaks of $82 per barrel but above $60 per barrel seen in May. OPEC+ MEMBERS DIVIDED ON PRODUCTION LEVELS In the run-up to the meeting, Russia and Saudi Arabia, the two biggest producers in the OPEC+ group, had different views, sources have said. Russia was advocating for a modest output increase, the same as in October, to avoid pressuring oil prices and because it would struggle to raise output owing to sanctions over its war in Ukraine, two sources said this week. Saudi Arabia would have preferred double, triple or even quadruple that figure – 274,000 bpd, 411,000 bpd or 548,000 bpd respectively, because it has spare capacity and wants to regain market share more quickly, sources said ahead of the meeting. OPEC views the global economic outlook as steady and market fundamentals healthy because of low oil inventories, it said in a statement on Sunday. OPEC+ output cuts had peaked in March, amounting to 5.85 million bpd in total. The cuts were made up of three elements: voluntary cuts of 2.2 million bpd, 1.65 million bpd by eight members and a further 2 million bpd by the whole group. The eight producers plan to fully unwind one element of those cuts – 2.2 million bpd – by the end of September. For October, they started removing the second layer of 1.65 million bpd with the increase of 137,000 bpd. The eight producers will meet again on Nov. 2.
