Finally we got hold of the Salerno results. Read below how the teams performed. The charts are dominated by the Naples based Karelpiu RG87. They’ve built there open Fountain powerboat into an impressive V1 Mercuy powered rocket with a canopy. They’re really all over the other teams. Chaudron’s blazing own built Maltese powerboat holds first place in the standings together with the Italian team RG87. They will have to use every horse power of their engines to stay ahead of the Italian team. Seems like the German team Searex is facing technical problems. There are still some races to come so we hope they recover. (more…)

Salerno UIM V1/C1 World Championship Powerboating

This V1 race is a home game for the Napoli based powerboating team Karelpiu. For Class One (C1) this is the kick-off for the new season. (more…)
