Raimondo di San Germano, CEO of Aquabike Promotion, said that the tournament's website had previously announced that 62 riders had registered, but for some reasons they could not participate in the tournament this time. Up to now, only 55 riders have officially competed in the categories of the world championship of jet skiing at the Grand Prix of Binh Dinh. After considering the weather and surveying the competition area, the Organizing Committee of the race decided to increase the length of the race from 1,500m to 1,800m.

“This is one of the stages with a beautiful race track, clear blue water, water surface standards, and excellent depth for the racers to show their talents,” said Mr. Raimondo di San Germano. According to the representative of Aquabike Promotion, to increase the prestige of the Grand Prix of Binh Dinh, Aquabike Promotion has specially organized the Parallel Slalom competition category - a special format that only takes place in a few Grand Prix.

The attraction of this format is the competition of the best racers in 3 categories in the qualifying round: Top 8 Runabout GP1, Top 8 Ski Division GP1 and top 4 or 6 Ski Ladies GP1. Each category will be divided into pairs to be eliminated directly into the semi-finals and finals. The tracks are arranged in parallel, each pair starts at the same time and passes the same buoys. The racer with the fastest speed, reaching the finish line first, will win. Therefore, this format requires racers to have skills, speed and courage to be able to create classy chases right on the waves. According to the organizer, on March 23, the race will take place with the qualifying round in the morning from 10:30 - 14:00 in 4 competition categories. The Motorcycle 1 race will take place from 15:15 - 16:45 with the categories Ski Ladies GP1, Ski Division GP1, Runabout GP1; From 21:00 to 23:00, the Parallel Slalom and Freestyle Moto 1 racing formats will take place.
