The second race saw another three teams take to the podium, showcasing the drive and ambition these powerboat pilots have in reigning supreme. Friday's race seemed to have been a beneficial factor for Team El Diablo as they outshone all the other teams with their 1st position in Race 2 which took place on Saturday at 16:30. It also continued to add to the strong weekend for Team Marine Diffusion and Team Freccia Blu as they took the top three positions of Race 2 with the fastest laps of GP3 ranking them podium finishes.

Spectators had a different seat to the races thanks to the possibility of purchasing a front row seat to all the action on a spectator's boat, stationed bang in the middle of all the action. This new opportunity was a first for the championships, that have been taking place since 2018, and further showcases the high demand for this sport, a sport which is unique to Malta.

The programme will continue Sunday 22nd, with the final race taking place at 16:30, but not before the highly popular Meet and Greet at 09:30, were spectators and powerboat fans have the opportunity to meet with the pilots and get up close with the powerboats!
