With both the SuperSport and Evolution Class titles up for grabs, this weekend’s Powerboat P1 World Championship (http://www.powerboatp1.com) racing will be full on, and fans in the U.S. and around the world will be able to follow the action on P1 Radio (www.p1radio.com (http://www.p1radio.com)).
Syracuse, Sicily, on the island’s South-Eastern coast will be the dramatic and breath-taking setting as #43 SEAGULL CHAUDRON battle for back-to-back SuperSport season championships with the #38 BAIA ATTOLINI and only 28 points separating the two teams. Meanwhile, 75 points stand between Evolution Class leader #47 SILVERLINE poised to take the title without ever having won a race yet this season, if they can hold off the #88 SNAV OSG, which was finding its stride in the last few races.
The Manufacturer’s Cup is also up for grabs in Sicily in both classes, but a U.S. engine builder will definitely take that portion of the competition. The SuperSport contenders are a 41-foot Chaudron (http://www.chaudronpowerboats.com)powered by twin Ilmor (http://www.ilmor.com) performance Marine engines and an all-American classic Donzi (http://www.donzimarine.com) 38 ZR with a pair of Mercury Racing (http://www.mercuryracing.com) 525s. Evolution Class racing pits an Italian-made Buzzi (http://www.fbdesign.it) powered by Sterling Performance (http://www.sterlingperformance.org) engines against another all-American combo of Outerlimits (http://www.outerlimitspowerboats.com) pushed by Mercury Racing power.
All of the back stories and personalities are available at www.powerboatp1.com (http://www.powerboatp1.com), any time, and race action begins with the one-of-a-kind PowerPole competition starting at 7:30 a.m. Eastern on Friday, September 11. Racing will begin on Saturday and Sunday (September 12 & 13) at 9:00 a.m. Eastern.
Commentators Steve Ancsell of Great Britain and Martin Sanborn of the United States will provide play-by-play coverage as well as behind the scenes insights and interviews throughout the day, and pods casts of all three events will be available later the day of broadcast.
