VALLETTA, Malta - Team VoomVoom.com, based in Southampton, England, and racing the hugely successful Hustler 388 Slingshot Powerboat, announced that they will be holding the Official Team Launch of its Powerboat P1 World Championship SuperSport contender in Valletta, Malta, at 6pm on Thursday 3rd May... and everyone is welcome to attend!

This will be a great opportunity to meet the race team and pilots and to see and touch the brand new Hustler 388 Slingshot. On Thursday evening they will be meeting the public while the team are relaxing before getting down to the serious business of racing in the Maltese Grand Prix of the Sea!

The Official Launch will be hosted by the P1 team in Freedom Square at the world famous Valletta City Gate and will be bringing the glamour and glitz of the Powerboat P1 World Championship into the very heart of Malta's Capital City and World Heritage site. Welcoming the team to Malta will be the Mayor of Valletta, Mr Paul Borg Oliver, and the British High Commissioner, Mr Nick Archer. They will be helping to celebrate this motorsports maritime link between the USA, the UK and Malta.

"We are excited to be coming back to race again in Malta with our brand new race boat, which has just been delivered from our shipyard in New York," explains Fiona Pascoe, Team Manager. "Malta holds a special place in our hearts due to the welcoming warmth of her people towards P1 and our team. We decided it was appropriate to give our fans in Malta the chance to get up close and personal with race boat Number 7 and the Team VoomVoom.com pilots and crew. We are looking forward to meeting as many people as possible, signing autographs and giving away posters to kids and those of us who still get excited enough about racing to be kids at heart!"

Team Owner and European importer of the extensive Hustler Powerboats range of performance and leisure craft, Vee Ganjavian, is also in buoyant mood. "Our fans have seen us racing Number 7 and Microlink for some time now. We have decided to raise our game and have built a beautiful Hustler 388 Slingshot to contend and win the 2007 P1 World Championship. I just love meeting people and so do my team, for us Malta is a special place to race and for me it's the people who welcome us that make it that way."

The Powerboat P1 Maltese Grand Prix of the Sea, the first event of the 2007 World Championship, takes place over the weekend of 5th/6th May.
