The combination of the two day’s Sprint and Evolution race points gave Cigarette SMASH POKER the Turkish Grand Prix Evolution Class title, followed by FURNIBO and SILVERLINE. Elated throttleman Nicolini said: "We had an excellent start. The boat started in the middle of the Bosphorus and our track was slightly shorter than the Lucas Oil boat. We had better acceleration today with a slightly better set-up but we need to improve the boat a bit as Lucas Oil is still very strong and we need to work on the boat to ensure we are competitive in San Benedetto."
In SuperSport, it was “Ladies Day” with the IKO CASA Chaudron team taking the Turkish Grand Prix title, followed by BAIA ATTOLINI and SEAGULL Chaudron. The historic day for the first-ever, all-woman team to win a Grand Prix title in Powerboat P1 was especially sweet as Shelley Jory and Audrienne Ciantar beat their own Chaudron team owner, Angelo Tedeschi and Audrienne’s brother, Aaron; the two work with their father, Charlie, to build the Chaudron boats together in their Maltese family business. Jory showed her usual British “cheekiness” with her comment about Tedeschi’s happiness for their win, “He’s really chuffed but insisted that we shouldn’t get used to winning because this will be the only time we will get the better of them.”
