Tragedy at P1 German Grand Prix!
The first leg of the Powerboat P1 German Grand Prix of the Sea was cancelled following a racing incident at the start of the race in which pilot Sergio Carpentieri suffered fatal injuries following a start-lap collision with Fainplast.

The Italian throttleman and owner of Team Carpenter was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Organisers, who had already instigated a major incident plan, immediately following the accident, will decide in the morning whether the second leg will go ahead.

The crew of Fainplast and Sergio's co-pilot, Luca Nicolini were unhurt although Nicolini was taken to hospital, suffering from shock.

Next of kin have been informed and a full investigation is now underway.

Our Payers will be with the family.
