Nicolo di San Germano, Promoter of the UIM F1 World Championship:

" World Racing Images, a well-established, fully international photo agency, will help us run this brand new photo site and supply the sport with high quality pictures ­ regularly, reliably and fast.

"I have been working since the start of the season to make the best possible photo site accessible to international media, organisers, competitors, teams, and sponsors as well as public. All photos

listed will be registered with a name, a subject, a date, description of the action. This is a very easy tool to use.

"The photographs contained on the new site will help to illustrate each of the press releases about the F1 Powerboat Championship. They also will allow all parties to prepare pre-event publicity and communicate effectively throughout the year.

" The FI Powerboat Championship is an incredible asset and a rich platform for generating quality images at each race over one year. The new photo site provides an added dimension to the TV images that the sport itself generates at every race."
