F1 Powerboat  day  in Putrajaya

Putrajaya - September 22, 2005 - Today will mark a new episode in the world of motorised sports where two giants in the name of high performance motor sporting fraternity are working together to promote the respective sports in Malaysia. The Idea Marketing SA, Formula 1 Powerboat Worldwide Promoter in conjunction with H2O Sports Sdn. Bhd, the local organizer for the Formula 1 Powerboat Malaysian Grand Prix,  is for the very first time organizing the twoseater powerboat rides with the 8-time Guido Cappellini for the MotoGP riders .

The Idea Marketing representative the Vice President Madam Lavinia Cavallero says “on behalf of the President , Mr. Nicolò di San Germano and the Idea Marketing Team “ We are very happy to be here once again and to have a joint venture organising the event with H2O Sports, since Malaysia is not organising the F1 Grand Prix this year, we feel it is very important for us to work closely with H2o Sports in keeping the momentum of Formula 1 Powerboat presence in this country, as H2o sports has been organizing this event for the last four years.

Lavinia further added “the promoter of MotoGP DORNA has made his intention to have the two-seater powerboat rides for the riders in Asia, since Malaysia is hosting the MotoGP next weekend and the Formula 1 Powerboat in Singapore GP has just concluded, we feel Malaysia would be the ideal venue to have the two-seater powerboat rides with our Formula 1 most titled world champion Cappellini.

The motoGP riders Capirossi, Xaus, Tamada, Allison, Hoppinks together  the 250 cc rider West as well as the 125 Kalio, Gabor have all enjoyed the ride on the twoseater. The most important names of the international media could not miss the opportunity of experiencing the thrill of high speed on a powerboat  and everyone hopes to repeat such an exciting experience when the two series will meet again around the world.
