'Roscioli Hotels' Class 1 World Powerboat Championship &copy

Podiums may have been beyond his grasp, but points-finishes in all of this season's nine races saw Italian throttleman, Giampaolo Montavoci, finish fourth overall in the 2009 World Championship standings, his best-ever position in his 12-years in Class 1.

The charismatic Italian will be the first to concede that whilst his SCAM-powered Victory-built Foresti & Suardi - Roscioli Hotels could do with a much-needed makeover, to take points in all races, and with four different drivers over the course of the year, is a remarkable show of consistency.

Montavoci's extraordinary run of points-finishes began back in Arendal in 2007, and now extends to 21 Grands Prix and 24 races. His best finish in 2009 came in Norway alongside Giampiero Soave, finishing fourth, with Montavoci making a landmark 90th race-start in Abu Dhabi.
