From the 2nd to the 4th September 2011 the International Sea Racing Limited, under the aegis of the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) and the authority of the Federazione Italiana Motonautica, will organise at Siracusa, Sicily, Italy, the UIM Powerboat World & European Championship Ocean Grand Prix 2011 for Evo and SuperSport class boats. <\/p>\n
For the first time on this beautiful Italian island the 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds of the UIM World Championship 2011 Powerboat Endurance Racing will be held putting more stress on man and machine. It will be very important now to have the crew up and running and on standby. Pilots and trottle men will need to focus harder and longer on their tasks. Never before was the tension so intense. The organization will also need to get in top gear as well as the rescue teams. In short this event will be an absolute acme of the OGP! Don’t miss it.<\/p>\n
