Clive Butler and Sammy Grima never raced together as a team prior to this championship, but their talent, determination and overall positive attitude brought a championship win to their names, reigning supreme and holding the first-place position in the championship's overall ranking with 181 points. This weekend also brings the VOOMQUEST Enemed UIM V2 World Powerboat Championship season of 2019 to a close and sees Marine Diffusion holding the second place of the championship's overall ranking with 163 points and Freccia Blu obtain the third place of the championship's overall ranking with 158 points.

Today saw Race 3 of GP4 - the final race for this championship, during which Marine Diffusion placed first, followed by Interceptor Remax who battled with Cutting Edge to regain the second position. El Diablo followed, whilst Freccia Blu never made it to the finish line.  Team Interceptor Remax were the winners of the GP4 overall weekend.

To say that 2019's VOOMQUEST Enemed UIM V2 World Powerboat Championship was interesting is truly an understatement, as all the four GP weekends brought unexpected wins, jaw-dropping action and first-class racing. We cannot wait for 2020 to see how the championship will top this one.
