On November 16, some 100 guests attended the Voomquest Enemed Annual Awards Night held at the Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana.

A welcome reception was held, followed by a gala dinner during which an introduction was given by the host for the night, Sandro Micallef, followed by a welcome speech by Voomquest founder and CEO Aaron Ciantar.

“The future for the Voomquest Enemed V2 Powerboat Championship is looking bright and the coming season will see most likely 10 teams from four different countries all competing for the world title. This is spread over five events, three in Malta and two abroad. We intend to up the game and show the world what we are capable of, so prepare yourself for this journey,” said Mr Ciantar.

Also present for the dinner were Clifton Grima, Parliamentary Secretary for Youths, Sports and Voluntary Organisations, Kevin Chircop, executive chairman, Enemed, and Jean-Marie Van Lancker, president offshore commissioner from the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM).

During his intervention Dr Grima said: “We have to use all our talent, all our resources in order to ensure that sports has the right place in our society. I believe that people like Mr Ciantar and the organisers of this event, have the vision and the talent in order to ensure that sports continues to take a central and important role in our country.” In his conclusion, Dr Grima stated that it is time to become serious and professional in all sport-related activities.

“We are very proud to have been the main sponsors behind this event and this relationship will continue in the future as both our brands stand for quality, performance and professionalism,” Mr Chircop confirmed.

“This year has been a fantastic year. This is a great moment and this is only a stepping stone to something bigger,” concluded Mr Chircop.

The dinner came to an end with an awards ceremony, presenting trophies to the top three qualifiers of the Voomquest Enemed V2 Powerboat Championship 2018, with Team Marine Diffusion placing first followed by Team Cutting Edge and Team Atomic & Grey, which placed second and third respectively.

“We are proud to welcome this championship in our fold. During the last couple of months I have met pilots from all over the world, and they are all following what you are doing,” Mr Van Lancker said. Based in Malta, Voomquest delivers multiple powerboating events each year attracting boat owners, pilot racers, host venues, fans of high octane motorsport and the public.

The V2 Class Racing is a brand new single class championship made up entirely of identical Chaudron Malta 27’ boats, the SVR-27 design. The powerboat was built on the design of five-time UIM World Champion and founder of Voomquest Aaron Ciantar.
