Российская команда примет участие в гонках CLASS 1 на Ибице уже 5-7 сентября 2014 года

Sunday, 13 July: Guido Cappellini has confirmed he will mark his return to racing at the Mediterranean Grand Prix in Ibiza, 5-7 September, announcing an exciting partnership with Russian entrepreneur Andrey Kitashev. Cappellini, the ten-time F1H2O World Champion, opted not to run last season in disagreement with the 2013 rules relating to propellers, but was an ever-present force at events following the DAC Racing Team and the Poliform boat. The announcement of the partnership in Class 1 with Andrey Kitashev, a passionate powerboat enthusiast and an accomplished racer, winning several endurance pneumatic World Championships with his Newstar Racing Team, marks the debut of Russia amongst the teams in the top-flight of world powerboat racing. The news extends Andrey Kitashev’s and Guido Cappellini’s powerboat collaboration having already teamed-up to run Formula 2 boats, taking part in this year’s 24 Hours of Rouen and 6 Hours of Augustow, with Cappellini coordinating the two boat team and training the drivers, the team earning two podium finishes. The step-up into Class 1 was a natural progression for the two, confirming that for the Mediterranean Grand Prix in Ibiza, the boat formerly known as Poliform 74 will be named Newstar – Poliform 74, with Cappellini climbing back into the cockpit and Andrey Kitashev stating that he is 'very proud and confident in this partnership and that his support marks the debut of Russia in the Class 1 World Powerboat Championship.'
