Di San Germano said: “I am sure that the Grand Prix of Bình Dinh-Vietnam will improve tourism in the country and strengthen business ties between Italy and Vietnam. For the next five years, the city of Quy Nhon will be the capital of powerboat racing in the country and we could eventually see the venue becoming a permanent location for the Grand Prix. The President has also expressed an interest in trying out one of the boats and we would be delighted to offer him a ride in our two-seater next year!”
