Interceptor Remax currently rank in second position, after placing second in Races 1 and 3 (17 points each) and fourth in Race 2 (14 points).
Whilst Friday's race had to be postponed, it was still a winning achievement for powerboat racing champion and organiser, Aaron Ciantar, as it was another successful event that continued bringing awareness of the VOOMQUEST international championship. A huge thanks goes also to the main sponsor, Enemed, who provides fuelling for all the competing powerboats and all the other sponsors who are making this event possible.
After the final podium, Aaron Ciantar said "It was an incredible weekend, and although we had to alter the programme, with great determination and perseverance we still managed all three races. Thankfully there were no accidents, we raced fast and the teams helped each other as and when required as they were very supportive until the very end. We also saw changes in the podium as now all drivers have achieved a high racing standard, and at this stage the results are an open book as anything can happen."
From his side, Kevin Chircop, Executive Chairman - Enemed, had this to say "I am positively surprised and impressed as to how quickly drivers are improving their performance from race to race. It's a pleasure to see a rotation of positions on the podium and in the races and it's evident that this title is sparking more and more determination from the drivers to win this world title. We are building something unique here and as the main sponsor and official fuel supplier to the championship, I cannot be but pleased of how things are evolving."
Jean Marie Van Lancker, UIM Official and Offshore President was also present and described this as a top weekend as VQ has proceeded in a very positive way and teams are working hard and learning very fast and this can be seen through different race results and placings. "I have been travelling for a couple of months now and can say that everyone from all over the world is interested in what we are doing here. I am proud that there were no accidents during the weekend as this shows that the teams are becoming professional too. Last but not least, I would like to thank Aaron Ciantar for believing and trusting in me, together we will take VOOMQUEST higher."
