This saw about three racers competing for the grand prize of $40,000 and a trophy. Loknauth Jagarnauth managed to outdo his rivals- Lennox Baharally and Clint Gonsalves.
This was followed by the ‘1100 CC Plus’ Jet Ski race which saw Keiron Da Silva defeating his sole competitor, Neil Gonsalves, and winning $25,000 and a trophy.
