Bio:

Pavia’s native Alberto Huober is the latest pilot to join the UIM XCAT World Championship, after a year of gaining experience and valuable seat time in Offshore 3D, another UIM Offshore class featuring twin outboard engines.

Engines and motorsport are nothing new to Alberto, who already has extensive experience in historic boat racing, car racing, and karting.

Teaming up with veteran throttleman Giampaolo Montavoci, Alberto is eager to make his mark on the UIM XCAT World Series.
