    The International Oshore Team Association (IOTA) has joined

    the Qatar Marine Sports Federation (QMSF) in launching Class

    1 or Dhreima an initiative to support the Qatar Orphan

    Foundation.

    Sheikh Hassan Bin Jabor Al-Thani, President o the QMSF and IOTA,

    was instrumental in encouraging Class 1 a sport in which he has

    been a leading gure since 2003 to become an active vehicle to raise

    awareness o the oundation. In presenting this initiative I wanted to

    emphasise how sport, in whatever orm or however extreme, can support

    the values and the importance o the activities o an organisation such as

    the Qatar Orphan Foundation.

    The association between Class 1 and Dhreima will be developed over a

    series o activities that will take place at races during the course o the

    2008 season, with the purpose o highlighting the activities o Dhreima

    and nding synergy with similar organisations based in countries that

    host Class 1 GP events.

    The Qatar Orphan Foundation - Dhreima was launched on 10 June

    2003 under the patronage o Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-

    Misnad, Chairman o the Supreme Council. We in

    the Qatari Orphan Foundation believe that ourcommunity values o solidarity, compassion

    and cooperation make us truly capable

    o providing all the support the

    children need, said Nabil Ali Bin

    Ali, Chairman o the Dhreima Board,

    adding. A nd we are extremely happy

    that the Class 1 Championship has

    elected to support the Foundation.

    MAMAIA-CONSTANTA

    A DAY TO REMEMBER FOR ALL

    Children rom a local orphanage will remember the day that

    they spent at the Romanian Grand Prix in Mamaia-Constanta

    or a very long time.

    Class 1 treated the group o youngsters to a wonderul day

    packed ull o activities, meeting Sheikh Hassan and the pilots,

    riding in the boat parade, taking a tour o the pits and getting

    their hands on the rather unique Class 1 or Dhreima lilo.

    And in a special event to raise unds or the childrens home,

    a host o celebrities including the Mayor o Constanta City,

    Radu Stean Mazare and TV personality, Mihaela Radulescu,

    Ambassador o the charity organisation United Way Romania,

    competed in the rst ever Class 1 Nor-Tech Match Race.

    VICTORY LOSE APPEAL

    Dubais Victory Team lost their appeal against the time penalty imposed on Victory 1 or

    hitting and destroying a turn buoy during the BMW Norwegian Grand Prix, a decision that

    cost the Championship leaders third place and three valuable points.

    The Appeal Committee ound unanimously that the original protest hearing decision,

    and the related notication, were applied correctly and these were upheld by the Appeal

    Committee.

    During the hearing held in Milan, the committee reviewed the original evidence and

    urther ootage and statements provided by the Victory Team and ound no new evidence

    to support their appeal.

    The Appeal Committee ound no relevant saety issue to mitigate the incident and

    supported the decision that the responsibility to rejoin the race saely was with Victory 1.

    CIRILLI AND CARRASCO

    UNVEIL SPIRIT OF SPAIN

    Duemme Brokers Domenico Cirilli and Sergio Carrasco unveiled their

    new boat Spirit o Spain and two-boat line-up, taking to the waters o

    Sergio Mora Carrasco switch out o their Victory hull and into the

    Tencara with Class 1 Mercury V8 power-plants, with Giovanni Carpitella,

    who made his Class 1 debut in 2002, returning to the Championship to

    take the throttles in Roscioli Hotels Roma alongside Class 1 newcomer,

    Mohammed Abdelkader Ahmed rom Spain.

    PARSONAGE

    AND NEGOTIATOR BACK TO

    FRONT-LINE ACTION

    Chris Parsonage returns to ront-line action in

    Negotiator at this weekends Egyptian Grand Prix or

    only his second start o the season ater crashing

    out o the rst race in Qatar back in March.

    But with his regular driver, 2005 World Champion

    Bard Eker, unavailable, Parsonage has drated in the

    services o t he experienced American throttleman

    Billy Moore to take the sticks, with team boss

    Parsonage switching to take over driving duties, his

    rst time behind the wheel or two years.

    The return o Negotiator means that our out o the

    ten boats lining up in Porto Marina will be running

    V8 power-plants; Negotiator and Qatar 95 with

    Sterlings and Spirit o Spain and Jotun with the

    Mercury-Class 1.

    JOTUN IN GOOD SHAPE

    Ater carrying out a series o successul pre-race tests, team manager,

    Per Carsten Michelsen, says the team is in good shape and are where

    they should be in terms o improved perormance levels.

    Inge Brigt Aarbakke and Jorn Tandberg, who have taken maximum points

    rom their last two outings, used the sessions on the jords o southern

    Norway at the teams base in Arendal to put the Mercury-Class 1, V8-

    powered Jotun through her paces to evaluate the recent modications

    carried out by the team. We have changed the air-intake and made one

    or two aerodynamic adjustments and Inge Brigt and Jorn are pleased

    with the results, said Per Carsten. We also used the session to run

    dierent rudder set-ups and worked on dierent propeller and ratio

    settings over a series o acceleration tests. We have ound some extra

    speed and I eel we are in good shape.

    The newly-crowned European Champions, Inge Brigt Aarbakke and Jorn Tandberg, currently lying inourth place, will line up in Jotun at this weekends Egyptian Grand Prix, looking to move up in thechampionship standings and to reduce their 19-point decit in the World title race by taking their third

    consecutive win o the season.

    Following the drama that unolded in the last race in Romania, just 21 points now separate the top

    ve boats, and Championship leaders Mohammed Al Marri and Nadir Bin Hendi will have to put the

    disappointment o losing out on the European title by one point behind them and try to restore Victory 1

    to winning ways. The immediate challenge to their title lead comes rom team-mates Al Mehairbi and

    Sanchez, currently lying in second spot and 10 points adrit, who have been a constant threat all season

    and will be hunting down a th podium nish, i not their rst win o the year.

    Qatar 95s impressive second place last time out, running the Sterling V8 power-plants or the rst time,

    catapulted Abdullah Al-Sulaiti and Matteo Nicolini into third place and crucially, ahead o their team-

    mates, Sheikh Hassan and Steve Curtis in Qatar 96 who are in th place, to head the Qatar challenge

    or title honours.

    Foresti and Suardis Italian-Norwegian pairing, Giampaolo Montavoci and Kolbjorn Selmer, are proving

    to be one o the seasons most reliable outts - taking ve th place nishes and one sixth - and lead

    the race or middle-order supremacy, with Montavoci, a rough water specialist, hoping to spring a ew

    surprises i they get a repeat o last years rough conditions.

    Spaniards, Domenico Cirilli and Sergio Carrasco will be aiming to step up their levels o perormance,

    running their Mercury-Class 1 V8-powered Tencara, Spirit o Spain, or the rst time with Class 1

    newcomer Mohammed Abdelkader Ahmed making his competitive debut in the teams second boat,

    Roscioli Hotels Roma, alongside Giovanni Carpitella, who makes a welcome return to Class 1 action.

    Following a rustrating ew races, but a very solid sixth place in Romania, SeveneleveNs Nicola Giorgi

    and Giorgio Manuzzi switch back to the Giorgi V12 engine package and is another team who will benet

    in rough seas and will be condent o a strong points nish.

    Ater crashing out o the opening race o the season in Qatar, Chris Parsonage returns to ront-line action

    in Negotiator or only his second st art o the season. But with regular driver, 2005 World Champion Bard

    Eker, unavailable, Parsonage has drated in the services o the experienced American throttleman Billy

    Moore, with Parsonage taking over the wheel.
