Royal Southampton member Steve Curtis saw his dream of retaining the Powerboat World Championship disappear today in the Grand Prix of Qatar. He and teammate Bjorn Gjelsten put up an admirable performance in practice and started the race in pole position. But the dream ended on lap 15 when the engine of their boat, Spirit of Norway failed, forcing them to retire from the race and leaving them with no hope of catching up with rivals Arif Saif Al Zafeen and Jean-Marc Sanchez took a giant step towards the title. >>>more

ExtremeBoat, the British Dragon boat of Mike Shelton and Jackie Hunt won the Powerboat P1 Belgian Grand Prix of the Sea. Its double win moves the team into a commanding position in the SuperSport World Championship with just the Portuguese Grand Prix remaining. The lead changed no fewer than four times, the husband and wife pairing being pushed all the way by VoomVoom, the diesel-powered Hustler of Vee Ganjavian and Charlie Williams Hawkes. Only a last lap navigational blip prevented a win for VoomVoom.
