In a grand experiment that may become a common trend at every event, the U.I.M. F1 World Championship for power boating announces today that as of the final two events of the 2008 season, people from around the world will now have an opportunity to watch the December 5th and December 12th race events in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah 'live' on the internet via the official website www.f1boat.com.

'We are tremendously excited about this opportunity to open the doors of our great sport to many in the press and our race fans from around the globe who don't normally get a chance to experience our races as they happen,' said U.I.M. F1 Promoter Nicolo Di San Germano.

'We are taking the necessary steps to determine whether we want to make this a permanent feature while at the same time see our demographics of followers around the world who follow our sport. All in all, I think this is our next step in making this a truly global following the way I've always envisioned our sport to be.'

The whole process will be logistically coordinated with Philippe Stiernon of Belgium who is the official F1 Press Officer and head of Website productions of the series working together with the official television production company of SBP s.p.a. of Rome, Italy linking the two together bringing the live television broadcast on the website for worldwide consumption.

The broadcast will be available free of charge and for anyone who wants to watch, there is a form that must be filled out ahead of time that is currently available on the home page of the www.f1boat.comwebsite in order to know the size of the portal to order.

The scheduled race start for the 16th Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi on Friday, December 5th is 15:30 Local; 11:30 GMT and 05:30 EST in North America and 22:30 on the East Coast of Australia.
