| After four races of domination by the reigning champion #99 Fountain Worldwide 1st4boats.com team, the tide of the Evolution class title fight took a dramatic turn in today’s Evolution class Endurance race of the Malta Grand Prix of the Sea. The #88 Kiton Outerlimits pairing of 2006 Evolution class champion Giancarlo Cangiano and Joe Sgro dominated the Endurance event in incredibly rough conditions, ultimately taking the chequered flag with a four-minute lead over the second-place #60 GFN Gibellato boat of Marco Pennesi and Giampaolo Montavoci |
. “It was a crazy race,” Cangiano said. “On the first lap, we lost radio contact with the team manager on the shore, so we drove the opening five laps like they were all our first. It’s incredibly difficult when it’s that rough, but it’s the spirit of the Powerboat P1 Endurance race to have rough conditions, risk and challenge.” |
