Update from Powerboat P1 Tunisian Grand Prix of the Sea
The Evolution Endurance race just ended--and Endurance was the operative word!
The diesel-powered Metamarine GFN Gibelatto powered its way to first place, followed by the Kiton Outerlimits, who consistently worked its way from 5th to 2nd. Fountain World Wide first4boats.com made it to third, suffering some mechanical difficulties after losing its engine hatch in the third lap and was followed by Pignolo 53.
Have to say that Martin Sanborn and Steve Ancsell keep me on the edge of my seat as I count laps and take notes! It doesn't get any better than this!
Stay tuned tomorrow when the SuperSport Sprint race starts at 10 AM EST and the Evolution class Sprint race starts at 12:30 PM.

#44 Conam Yachts seal Tunisian SuperSport glory
Today
The #44 Conam Yachts crew celebrate their Tunisian SuperSport Endurance winThe SuperSport title-leading #44 Conam Yachts crew of Angelo Tedeschi and Aaron Ciantar took their seventh win of the year in today’s Tunisian Grand Prix of the Sea Sprint race, securing overall Grand Prix of the Sea honours at the same time. The double win – allied to their 50-point bonus for completing the first half of the year without an engine change – gives them a 190 point advantage in the championship points table.
The #07 VoomVoom.com squad – currently #44 Conam Yachts closest challenges – were the only team to stay within touching distance of the Italian reigning champions at the start of the race, but Tedeschi and Ciantar once again quickly pulled out a comfortable lead that proved impossible to beat. A second second place of the weekend for the #07 VoomVoom.com squad gave them runner-up spoils in the Grand Prix of the Sea trophy chase.
#08 Phoenix TV took the final podium spoils of the Sprint race, while fourth place was a superb result for the returning #11 Team Sunseeker. After a two-race sabbatical following the sinking of their boat in Marseilles, France, this was a fantastic comeback weekend by the British squad.
The #05 Team Tullio Abbate Wild Card entry edged the #47 Silverline Buzzi Bullet boat and the #22 Big Sergio crew in the final race finishers to take the final Grand Prix of the Sea podium spot. It was double jeopardy for the Donzi crews, though, as the #38 Baia High Performance OSG team failed to complete the first lap and the #59 Saho boat failed to start with a transmission problem.
Conham continue to dominate, 7 in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic wins the Sprint race.

Not such a good weekend for us.... We had a 40 second lead on saturday and had an engine overheat. And Sunday were alongside leader when a steering hose fitting came loose and dumped all the fluid out!
Saturday was so hot in the cockpit. Temps were 130-135 degrees in the cockpit! I have never been so exhausted after a race!!! We now have 2 months to get the boats ready for Spain. FWW will be back to its winning ways!!! I have never been a sore loser, but am becoming one....LOL
