    As the picturesque resort o Budva, one o the oldest and most historic Cities

    on the Adriatic Sea, prepares to host this weekends Hypo Group Montenegrin

    Grand Prix, round two o the 2008 Class 1 World Powerboat Championship and

    the rst o our races or the Class 1 tour in Europe, the 2007 World and European

    Champions, Victory Team, has conrmed it will be orced to race without deending

    World Champion, Ari Sai Al Zaeen.

    Victory 1s, Al Zaeen, who won the opening Edox Pole Position and Grand Prix o

    the season in Qatar with Nadir Bin Hendi, is orced to sit out the race on medical

    advice ater sustaining serious back injuries in a crash during a Formula 2 race in

    Egypt several weeks ago. But whilst the loss o Al Zaeen is a bitter blow or the

    team, Victory has been able to call on the services o ormer World and Middle East

    Champion, Mohammed Al Marri - a veteran o over 50 Grands Prix and with nine

    race wins and 26 podiums already to his credit - to step into the drivers seat.

    Victorys main championship rivals, Qatar, will see this enorced change as a

    possible opportunity to close the gap in the title race and to take their rst win

    o the season, and although Sheikh H assan and Steve Curtis will be running their

    spare boat or a second consecutive race, a switch rom Mercury V8s back to

    Skema V12 power-plants and considerable modications to Qatar 96, may well

    give them the edge they need.

    Any outside challenge to Victory and Qatar in the race and to their early st ranglehold

    on the top our positions in the championship standings, could well largely depend

    on the conditions that the teams will ace in Budva, when they line up or the

    23-lap, 94.50Nm Hypo Group Montenegrin Grand Prix. I the anticipated rough

    seas on the outside leg o the course around the Island o Sveti Nikola materialise,

    Foresti & Suardi, Negotiator and Jotun may well be amongst the challengers or

    podium positions.

    Giorgioshores Nicola Giorgi and Giorgio Manuzzi will look to build on their very

    solid top six nish last time out and are condent o an improved showing when

    they line-up in Budva in only their second outing in their Michael Peters-designed

    Victory-hull, SeveneleveN, with the all new Spanish-outt o Cirilli and Carrasco

    in Roscioli Hotels and Jerome Brardas American based team, Windmare Racing

    making their 2008 debuts this weekend.

    MONTAVOCI AND SELMER CONFIDENT OF STRONG

    SHOWING IN MONTENEGRO

    sti & Suardi duo, Giampaolo Montavoci and Kolbjorn Selmer have spent the last two weeks

    king up the miles testing on Italys Lake Iseo, and are condent o a strong showing this

    kend. It was important that we got as many miles in as possible to be r eady or Budva, said

    egian driver, Kolbjorn Selmer. The tests went well we t ried out a new steering system and

    iety o dierent propeller and ratio settings, and although the conditions in Montenegro are

    to be rough, unlike the fat calm o the lake the tests proved a valuable exercise or us.

    made a solid start in Qatar but now we are back in the number one boat we are aiming or an

    stronger showing and hoping or rough seas.

    QATAR READY TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO VICTORY

    Sheikh Hassan and Steve Curtis have an improved boat or this weekends Hypo Group

    Montenegrin Grand Prix and are ready to take the ght to their main rivals and championship

    leaders, Victory 1. Matteo and his guys have put a lot o work in to upgrade the spare boat

    or this race and or sure we will have more perormance than in Doha, said Curtis.

    Sheikh Hassan and Curtis were orced into their spare boat with Mercury V8s or the opening

    race o the season, ater a crash in qualiying wrecked their race boat but in Budva they

    run their avoured Skema V12 power-plants. Running our V12s will make a dierence but

    whether or not we have enough (power) to match Victory is still questionable but i we get

    rough seas on the outside leg we will be in good shape.

    The pre-race tests have gone well, said team manager and Qatar 95 throttleman, Matteo

    Nicolini. Steve and Luca tested or two days and the perormance (o 96) is ver y good. We

    made some hull modications and also aerodynamic ones and Steve has worked on the boat

    to make his own adjustments to have a boat similar to what he has been used to in 2007.

    RUNNING REPAIRS AND UPGRADES

    Ugland Oshore Racing will be looking to kick-start its title challenge and put points on the

    board in Budva, ater technical problem in the season opener robbed Jotun o a podium nish,

    and the MTI, Mercury powered raceboat has spent the last ew weeks in the teams workshop

    in Fredrikstad in Norway undergoing a major overhaul. The time we have had between

    races was the perect opportunity or us to upgrade certain areas o the boat and to make

    key modications that will improve her overall perormance, said team manager, Per Carsten

    Michelsen. We have worked on the hull and made modications to the tr ansmission, as well

    as completely rewiring the boat.

    CIRILLI AND CARRASCO READY FOR

    BUDVA DEBUT

    Having elected to sit-out the rst race o the season, Domenico Cirilli will

    unveil his new all-Spanish team in Budva, with Sergio Mora Carrasco

    making his Class 1 debut this weekend. The team will run the Victory

    hull that Cirilli raced in 2007 with Scam V12 power-plants under the

    colours o new sponsor, Roscioli Hotels. Sergio has made a very strong

    impression with me, said Cirilli, a veteran o over 40 Grands Prix. He

    has great awareness in the boat and is very comortable, driving at

    speed and in all conditions. We have put in a considerable amount

    o time in the boat just to get used to each other and I am already

    convinced that we will make a strong partnership.

    MOHAMMED AL MARRI BACK IN THE DRIVING SEAT

    Ater stepping back rom competitive (Class 1) racing at the end o 2006, Mohammed Al Marri

    is back in the drivers seat in Montenegro, replacing the injured Ari Sai Al Zaeen in Victory 1 to

    partner Nadir Bin Hendi. Mohammed made his Class 1 debut in 2000, nishing runner-up in the

    title race, going on to win the World Championship the ollowing year with Saeed Al Tayer. He has

    competed in 55 Grands Prix, winning nine, nishing on the podium a urther 26 times and in 2005

    won the Class 1 Middle East Championship.

    WINDMARE RACINGS BUDVA DEBUT

    ome Brardas American based Windmare Racing is a second outt to

    ke its Class 1 debut at the Hypo Group Montenegrin Grand Prix this

    ekend. Brarda, who made his racing debut in Europe in the eighties

    ore moving to the USA to compete in Superboats, and the Super

    series, conrmed that the team will run a Tencara hull powered by

    rcury-Class 1, 9litre, V8 power-plants.

    The rst Class 1 Grand P rix to be held in Russias capital City, heralds the return to racing o t he
