U.I.M Powerboat P1 World Championship

Drawing on the tradition that has often brought Iveco success in the past in offshore competitions, 2006 marks the return of an engine for offshore racing after an absence of 17 years.

In 2006, FPT will participate in the World Offshore UIM Powerboat P1 championship, with the Iveco Motors brand, supplying an NEF 400 common rail engine to the Club Italia Offshore Racing team.

Tests of the new engine on the Apache 41' "Datch" began in January, in preparation for the start of the 2006 championship, which will comprise the following 6 stages:

• May 2006, Valletta, Malta
• June 2006, Anzio, Italy
• July 2006, Travemunde, Germany
• August 2006, Cowes, UK
• September 2006, Gallipoli, Italy
• Sept. 30 - Oct. 1, 2006, TBD, Spain

The event is always followed by huge crowds and usually broadcast in more than 70 countries.
