Cowes Torquay

Post by petrolhead »

In case anybody is local, the Cowes Torquay and other power boat racing is this weekend from cowes. We have been to the previous 2 years racing although Cowes got snotty last year about money so have now lost the UK the P1...which is a shame as some of you know we used to get pit passes from the driver of Hustler 07 P1 Supersport boat, sadly he too pulled out P1 this year for "political" reasons.. :lol: usual stuff, screens and roofs allowed on some boats in the the wrong class but not others! I was shown the "incorrect" boats around the pits and why they were not correct to rules. Interesting!

Cowes Torquay last year did draw some fab classics and it may be bigger this year as it gains interest, they are running the original course from years ago. Celebrity drivers were aplenty too.

Last year Buzzi won in the big orange buzzi boat and was back so quick the commentators were not back in there box..haha,
