| Vee Ganjavian, the highly successful powerboat racer and entrepreneur from Southampton, England has taken another significant step forward in his push for the 2008 Powerboat P1 World Championship Supersport title with the announcement that highly rated Gareth Williams, 29, will join the team as throttleman for the season ahead. Gareth is a former RIB World and British title holder who, between 2001 and 2004, took 25 podium finishes and 17 outright wins from 28 starts in F2. He is director of a boatyard in Southampton that specialises in the storage and preparation of powerboats and has a strong association with many UK offshore teams including several P1 competitors. "I have been watching the progress of the P1 World Championship with interest," explains Gareth, "and in particular the fortunes of Vee and the VoomVoom.com team whose Hustler |
388 Slingshot is housed at our facilities. I am very excited by the opportunity to race in Powerboat P1 and am looking forward to being part of VoomVoom.com. It is a very forward thinking organisation, the boat is competitive and there is a strong commitment to achieve success. I expect us to be a real force to be reckoned with." Fiona Pascoe, Team Manager of VoomVoom.com, is equally as enthusiastic about the tie-up. "We have known Gareth for many years, he is highly professional in everything he does and brings to the team vast levels of knowledge. He is a very accomplished powerboat racer with a positive attitude which will serve us well in our determined challenge for the World title. We are excited to have secured someone of this calibre to race with Vee as the team looks to build upon its international successes in 2007." |
