And they proudly hold their national team, Victory, to high esteem. The team has already won several powerboat racing competitions, like the F1 competition and the UIM Class 1 Championship. Their wins are recognized both within the region and abroad and have put Dubai on the world map. Victory Team currently holds an impressive six Class 1 championship and four Class 2 Championships. These achievements are quite a remarkable feat, particularly for a team which was only formed in the early 90’s and was then considered an underdog of this particular sport.
