Powerboat P1 announced this week that it will be returning to Italy for the 2009 World Championship season finale in Sicily on September 11-13.

Heading back to the Mediterranean's largest island after a five-year absence, Powerboat P1's elite will embark upon the exquisite city of Syracuse.

Asif Rangoonwala, Powerboat P1 chairman and CEO said: "We have chosen to stage the final two rounds of this year's World Championship in Italy as it is the stronghold of powerboating and provides a central European location for all of our teams and a stunning setting for the climax of the season.

"The decision to replace Bahrain on this year's circuit is also a response to the need for teams to manage their costs during the current economic downturn."

Rounds seven and eight of the P1 World Championship take place in Gothenburg, Sweden for the inaugural Scandinavian GP of the Sea on August 7-9.
