It was an incredible weekend, but the spectators made it even more special.
It’s such a great reward to celebrate podiums with such an amazing crowd, it’s fulfilling and heart-warming.
I have to also thank all the parties involved in making this event possible and our employees who were simply spot on in all preparations.
Last but not least a big thanks to our sponsors especially Enemed, Visit Malta and GamingMalta together with the St. Paul’s Bay mayor and council and all the authorities who were instrumental in the smooth operations of this GP.
