Abu Dhabi International Marine Sports Club announced on Thursday that powerboat racing legend Guido Cappellini has signed a new long-term contract as manager of Team Abu Dhabi, the reigning F1H2O world champions, a press release said.
The club says the new agreement, running until 2025, rewards Cappellini for the outstanding results achieved by Team Abu Dhabi since he took charge in February, 2015.
The Italian has made Team Abu Dhabi the dominant force in the UIM F1H2O World Championships over the last four seasons, during which time they have won the team title three times and the drivers' crown twice with Shaun Torrente and Alex Carella.
In addition, Emirati driver Rashed Al Qamzi won the UIM F2 world title in 2017 after securing the F4-S world crown the previous year, and under Cappellini Team Abu Dhabi have collected a total haul of 70 race trophies and medals.
