Due to rough seas, Friday's race was cancelled but the powerboat pilots were still up and early with a Pilots' Compulsory briefing, Pole Position Briefing, including a Technical Scrutineering and a Free Practice on the Practice Course.  As a result to this, today saw a change in programme, with the first race taking place at 12:15hrs.

El Diablo, Interceptor Remax and Freccia Blu took to the first podium of GP2 of The VOOMQUEST Enemed UIM V2 World Powerboat Championship. Marine Diffusion (current championship leaders) did not make it to the finish line only by two buoys and lost their first position in the championship to El Diablo. Cutting Edge came in at fourth place, whilst Atomic & Grey did not make it to the finish line.

A second race took place at 16:30hrs.

Final Results for GP1 Race 2:

1st place - Cutting Edge (20 points)

2nd place - Freccia Blu (17 points)

3rd place - El Diablo (15 points)

4th place - Interceptor Remax (14 points)

5th place - Marine Diffusion (13 points)

6th place - Atomic & Grey (12 points)

7th place - Lethiec - DNS (0 points)

Tomorrow will see an early start for the pilots, with a Meet and Greet at Marina di Valletta at 09:30hrs, and spectators are invited to visit and have a chat with the championship pilots and have a close look at the magnificent powerboats, including cheering them on for the final race of the championship happening in Sliema at 16:30hrs. We invite you to join us at the podiums at Marina di Valletta at 18:15hrs.
