Local Southampton businessmen unite
to compete in 2008 Powerboat P1 World Series
Southampton based, Vahid (Vee) Ganjavian, successful entrepreneur has secured Gareth Williams to be the throttleman for his British powerboat team VoomVoom.com to contest the 2008 super sport Powerboat P1 world series in their 388 Slingshot Yanmar diesel powered Hustler production raceboat.
Gareth, once a dominate force in the British RYA RIB championships claiming both world and national titles. He raced RIB F2 over four years from 2001 to 2004, with 28 race starts, 25 podium positions and 17 wins. He could often be seen overhauling the competition in his distinctive SR9 Yanmar diesel powered Mark Pascoe RIB. Gareth is thus no stranger to competing and winning in a diesel powered raceboat.
Alongside his Mother Gill Williams, Gareth is a Director of Drivers Dry Berthing Ltd a boatyard based in Southampton, Hampshire which boasts secure workshops, storage and craneage amenities. Many of the UK's P1 and national offshore teams can be seen testing using the excellent facilities and is the reason why Vee now bases 'his passion for racing' housing his new workshop for the Hustler 'VoomVoom.com' race team from this establishment.
"I am very excited to be given the opportunity to race with Vee as part of the VoomVoom.com team in the Powerboat P1 World Series," says Gareth. "I am looking forward to being back in a competitive boat in race conditions and expect this will be a very successful season for me and the team."
"I have known and worked with Gareth for many years and believe he has much to offer VoomVoom.com, Vee and the race team are very excited about the forth coming season and know that Gareth is very professional, with a positive attitude wanting to be part of the progression to maximise the boats potential to win, becoming an intricate cog to our future success in 2008" states Team Manager Fiona Pascoe.
