This is the first time such a speed water sports event will be held in Viet Nam. Not only this year, Quy Nhon City will host the tournament for five years in a row from 2024 to 2028.
With an area of up to 5,000 ha and a width of nearly 4 km, Thi Nai lagoon in the city is considered an ideal place for aquabike and powerboat races.
Tran Viet Anh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Binh Dinh F1 Joint Stocks Company which hosts the tournament in Viet Nam, said that it promotes the image of people and culture of Binh Dinh in particular and Viet Nam in general.
He said almost all of the racers praised the racing location with favourable weather, water level, and waves.
The UIM-ABP Aquabike includes various formats and different race stages, creating a diverse and exciting experience for riders and audiences alike.
The competition includes several categories, including Runabout GP1, Ski GP1 for men and women, and Freestyle.
UIM - Union Internationale Motonautique - is the international federation that governs all powerboat racing activities. Some of the main disciplines include circuit racing, offshore racing, offshore, leisure sports, and aquabiking./.
