Avatar · 27th October 2003

We had seen the speedsters, we had seen the exciting race, now, let us take a closer look behind the scene of the UIM F1 Powerboat race ...

Making the final preparations ...

Italian Team Nautica Comparato making some final checks to their Comparato and DAC boats.

French Team Ligier Sports engineers working on the joints and driver compartment in their Moore boat.

Lining up the engine tube in Team Ligier Sports's DAC.

Team Atlantic Marco Gambi DAC undergoing diagnostics.

The Merlin 2.5 engine with Team F1 Emirates, the winning team for this leg of the UIM F1 tour.

Team Green from the UK working on the internals of Andy Elliot's Burgess.

Heavy firepower! Enuff said.

... up next, Time to go ... er ... fly

Time to go ... er ... fly

Boats preparing to be "ferried" to the pitdock.

Lift it up high the cityline!

Before the final race

There he goes ...

Scott Gillman, the Champion with Guido (the runner up) staring across the horizon, moments before the race starts.

Waiting ... waiting ... and more waiting ...

... up next, The aftermath

The aftermath

Team Green's Laith Pharaon DAC, wrecked in the crash ... Ouch!

Quenching the thirst!

The spectators ...

@ the Media Center

The Media Center, this is where we take out "refuge" from the sun and the place for us to prime our gear and images after the daily barrage of shots.

Our photog team aka Viewfinder & Avatar's very own corner in the UIM F1 Media Center
