Sunday 14th September 2008 Aaron Ciantar and Angelo Tedeschi win P1 World Championship
|
|
The #44 Conam Yachts team continued their dominance of Powerboat P1's SuperSport class in today's final Endurance race of the Vigo Grand Prix of the Sea weekend. The aspiring double champions beat off the #38 Baia High Performance and #47 Silverline Buzzi Bullet teams in the 11-lap race off the coast of Playa de Samil. It was another lights-to-flag victory for team boss and throttleman Angelo Tedeschi and pilot Aaron Ciantar, who are aiming to secure their second SuperSport crown in a row. The closest team to them in the championship points – the #07 Microlink PC outfit – could only manage fourth today, pretty much eliminating the crew of Vee Ganjavian and Gareth Williams from the 2008 title chase.
Rounding out the finishers were the #46 Spirit of Portomaso
boat, the #26 Team Konrad Wild Card entry, the #22 Big
Sergio Al & Al team and the #05 Team Tullio Abate Wild
Card. The #08 Phoenix boat failed to start the race after
picking up debris in the engine bay.
#44 Conam Yachts
team boss and throttleman Angelo Tedeschi and pilot Aaron Ciantar have
expressed their delight at securing this year's SuperSport championship
with a double win in the Vigo Grand Prix of the Sea. This is the second
SuperSport title in a row for Tedeschi and his Italian-based Racing
Project outfit after winning the 2007 crown.
The #44 Conam Yachts outfit have managed to combine blinding speed with impressive reliability in the quest to defend their championship. Tedschi and Ciantar have dominated every race this year in their Mercury-powered Chaudron, losing only one victory to the #07 Microlink PC team after picking up a penalty for a jump start. "I'm very, very happy with the results from this weekend and the year as a whole," Tedeschi said. "I'm so proud to work with such a strong team, and what we have achieved. It's all a matter of going as fast as possible, and being as reliable as possible. This is the benefit of five years of experience.
"We
only look at the job we do, and we knew we were doing a good job. We've
not been easy to beat this year, but I think that will hopefully
encourage a lot of teams to come back and a lot of teams to join the
championship."

Aaron Ciantar and Angelo Tedeschi win Saturday's Vigo race There was heartbreak for the #38 Baia High Performance team and huge joy for the #44 Conam Yachts outfit in the aftermath of today's Vigo Grand Prix of the Sea Sprint race, as a six-minute penalty for exceeding the 85mph average speed limit denied the OSG Racing-run outfit their first win of the year. The #38 Baia High Performance team had briefly been the only team to have beaten the defending champion #44 Conam Yachts outfit on the water this year, but 12 timing infringements over the duration of the race netted them a six-minute penalty that puts #44 Conam Yachts on the top step and knocked #38 Baia High Performance down to fifth place in the race results. The #22 Big Sergio
outfit is now second in the race results, while the #26 Team Konrad
Wild Card entry secures the final podium spot as part of an impressive debut
outing. Commenting on www.chaudronpowerboats.com after the announcement of the official result the Maltese pilot Aaron Ciantar said "We had a bad start having to race for the first laps behind two boats. We gradually managed to get on to second place behind the Italian duo Stefano Acanfora, and Renato Guidi of #38 Baia High Performance team . I had the feeling that they were exceeding the average speed and so decided to stay behind them limiting ourselves to our standard 85mph" remarked Ciantar. "If Angelo and had decided to try and overtake Big Sergio we would have risked over speeding ourselves so we decide to play it safe and finishing in second place" continued to explain Ciantar. "Immediately after we got off the boat we headed towards the judges stand to verify the result and they immediately stated that they were investigating a possible exceeding of average speed by the #38 Baia High Performance. As soon as this was officially confirmed we were declared as winners of today's race. I do really hope we win also tomorrow so we will be mathematically crowned again World Champions" concluded the Maltese P1 Pilot.
