Voomquest V2 threeday championship starts today at Marfa

Voomquest’s first International Powerboat Championship, the stunning One-Design V2 Racing Class, is being held between today and Sunday at Marfa.

The Labranda Premium Resort & Spa on the Malta Riviera, overlooking Gozo, Comino and the Channel is the inaugural venue hosting the event which will include three races.

The extensive racing programme over this weekend will be run under the experimental auspices of Monaco-based International nautical motorsports Governing Body, the Union Internationale Motonautique (U.I.M.).

The first two races will be held tomorrow and the third and final race on Sunday.

The VOOMQUEST 2018 V2 International Powerboat Championship season will feature 9 races in total, across 3 spectacular new venues, with racing happening close to shore on Malta’s crystal clear blue waters.

Spectators and motorsports fans at each of the new venues will benefit from a Formula 1 style approach to racecourse design, featuring an exciting mix of chicanes, hairpin turns, penalty lanes, and of course super fast straightaways. Each year the VQ Race Course design will remain similar, ensuring that just like in F1, fans and sponsors will be able to choose and enjoy their favourite viewing points from on the land and out on the water. Three Maltese boats – Team Cutting Edge, Team MariaGalea Racing and Team Freccia Blu will be representing Malta.

Ciantar is taking part in the new VOOMQUEST One-Design Chaudron SVR27 V2 Class which is a professional racing craft and has a full canopy with every safety feature considered, designed and built in as a premium turnkey package. The other boats are from France (Team Marine Diffusion), Team Lethiec, also from France, and from Belgium (Team Atomic Grey).
