Class One World Powerboat Championship
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.
Class One World Powerboat Championship
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.
Class One Romanian Grand Prix – 2009 edition
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.
