Terrible news from Travemunde
From the P1 website.
Saturday 30th June 2007
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.
