VICTORY TEAM

Victory is one of the most successful outfits in the sport’s history. The Team posted immediate ‘notice of intent’ in their first outing in the Class 1 World Powerboat Championship, finishing first and second as guest entries in the final two rounds in 1992, joining the championship officially in 1993. And over the last 14 years has amassed a repertoire of titles and wins that is almost unequalled; Khalfan Harib and Ed Colyer took the team’s first world title in 1993 with Saeed Al Tayer and Felix Serralles taking back–to-back titles in 1995 and 1996, with three different driver pairings, Nasser/Scism, Nasser/Harib and Al Marri/Al Tayer clinching a hat trick of titles for Victory in 1999, 2000 and 2001. In addition to their six world titles they have won over 50 Grands Prix, the European Championship four times, the Middle-East Championship twice and the Pole Position title five times.
In 2002 they added manufacturer to their CV with their Michael Peters designed, Victory built hulls winning the championship for the last four years. vezi detalii complete

WELMAX OFFSHORE RACING

Ugland Offshore Racing is one of the sport’s most established teams. Following success in Class 3,4litre and a European Championship win in Class 2, Andreas Ove Ugland led the team into Class 1, where they made their debut in St Tropez in 1991; they took their first podium in Guernsey a year later and the Class 1 European title in 1993.

After a break from racing, the team returned in 1999 and more podium and Pole Position successes followed. Recent years have seen the team develop a variety of different driver combinations, achieving further podium finishes.

In 2005 the team restructured, bringing in Norwegian ProVee Offshore Champions and Class 1 debutants, Jorn Tandberg and Christian Zaborowski, with the team opting to run the Mercury-Class 1 engine package in their MTI catamaran. An impressive first season resulted in two podiums, two top six finishes and a first Pole Position win, with the team’s first Grand Prix win coming in Arendal in 2006.
In 2008 the team fields a revised driver line-up, with Inge Brigt Aarbakke and Bjorge Jocabsen sharing driver duties alongside throttleman, Jorn Tandberg. vezi detalii complete
