Advertising campaign


Class One World Powerboat Championship represents the equivalent on water of the Formula 1 and it is the most spectacular powerboat race in the world, a

competition fuelled by passion and adrenalin, which attracts over 1 million viewers annually and approximately 250 million TV spectators.

10 international teams of pilots, copilots and technical staff enter this highly

technological battle of financial power and piloting mastership, competing for the most prestigious prize in the water sports world.


The race powerboats are powered by twin

900 hp engines with 1800 HP, they are 14 m

long and can reach over 250 km/h in always unpredictable conditions.

The race venues, for example Qatar, Dubai,

Arendal (Norvegia) and Stresa (Italia), are

full of exoticism and concentrate during the 3 days of the contest a lot of fashionable events.

In 2009 Class One introduced a spectacular

element! Starting with the Romanian round

each location hosted 2 races, both very important in the general classification, one

on Saturday and one on Sunday.


The 2009 Romanian Grand Prix was a really spectacular week-end: two races full

of suspense, overturns, surprising accidents and incidents, parties, new

experiences, impressive acrobatic stunts in the air and on water!

On water, team FAZZA dominated from start-to-finish, coming back to the top of the World Powerboat Championship classification.

On dry land, Class One teams forgot about the classification problems every night and had fun at the parties organized by Power Marine.

After three rounds organized in Romania, Mamaia became one of the star venues of Class

One. The pilots say that they feel like home: the

public is very warm and Siutghiol lake, the only

place with sweet water in the championship, offers special sensations allowing very high speeds.

To proove that the 2009 edition was a success

also, Saeed Hareb, preşedintele WPPA ( World

Professional Powerboating Association), proposed that Ionuţ Barbu, the Power Marine

representative, should become a voting member

of the board of administration of WPPA, being

also appointed the promoter and official representative of WPPA in the south-east of

Europe.
