Re: Congratulations Donzi !!! World Champs!!!

Watch a couple of those videos.... holy crap those guys have some huge ballz.... british gran prix race 2 is pretty good.....

The video coverage is really good IMO....

Great quote from the video coverage..... "for some reason, and it may just be what it was designed for, but Donzi hull is going quicker..." After he was commenting how it was too rough for the other boats to keep up.... :evilb:

Re: Congratulations Donzi !!! World Champs!!!

I was at both the British and the Portugese events and know a lot of the crews in both P1 classes - the Donzi is running an experimental surface drive setup in "Evolution" class. In "Supersport" class you have to run the standard package available from the manufacturer and it is going to be tighter on the rules in '07.

The second race in Cowes was spectacular - I was almost glad we didn't make it out (one of the lamborghinis wouldn't start!)

Re: Congratulations Donzi !!! World Champs!!!

Arpro and OSG are in different classes. I think Arpro did pretty well this year.

They also won the Cowes event overall (2 races at each venue) - even better they are great people!

They say they are changing for next season as Arpro have stopped thier sponsorship.

It's an experimental surface drive made by flexitab, from Italy and tested by team OSG and Donzi during the grueling 2006 powerboat P1 season..... i'd say they are on to something..... that thing is a tank.....
