Great news, Pierre Colpin & Frank Hemelaer -both ex-Centaurian, as the Centaurian is for sale- announced they will join P1 as a total new Belgian team with a brand new Fountain - Lightning '42 in the Evolution class.
For now it's still some mysterious about the hull, but their goal is to race some wildcards for 2009 untill a main sponsor is found.

“It was only yesterday that we decided to join the Powerboat P1 season, so everything is just starting to come together,” Colpin said. “It’s too early yet to define in which races we’ll actually compete. Two are already scheduled. To participate in every race in the season, we still need to attract a main sponsor.
“We want to focus on Powerboat P1, but we also thing we’ll head to the European Championship or the Italian Powerboat series. We’re also looking to attend the Belgian Offshore Challenge in Zeebrugge in September. Our main focus is on 2010 when we will race in every Grand Prix of the Sea. We see 2009 as a prep year to extend our experience and level of competence.”
