| 2010 BRITISH POWERBOAT FESTIVAL A SUCCESS As the legendary Fabio Buzzi put on a masterclass to reclaim the Harmsworth Trophy over the August Bank Holiday weekend, another success story at the British Powerboat Festival came away from the water. Title sponsors RB12.com – promoters of the 2012 Round Britain Land, Sea and Air event – began their three-year association with the Festival and introduced the RB12.com Race Village to the Cowes Yacht Haven. It was an instant hit with crowds during the day and night as visitors gathered to enjoy bars, food courts, live music, street entertainers, and various merchandising stalls, as well as the racing itself. Over 7,000 were attracted to the event, with £5,000+ raised for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), who supplied a variety of activities to promote their good work in the area including a roadshow and simulator. RB12.com have already received encouraging feedback from those in attendance, as well as competitors. Steve Willis: "I have been following this event for 37 years and felt that this was one of best powerboat race weekends for some time. Roll on next year and the year after." Hannes Bohinc, team owner and throttleman, Wettpunkt.com: "It was refreshing to see so many members of the public in attendance. It was a good location, very well thought out, and something that can be built upon in years to come." "Our aim before the Festival was to bring powerboating to a bigger audience, and the 2010 event has laid a strong foundation," explains Hugo Ambrose, Director, RB12.com. "It was an excellent weekend of racing and the off-water attractions went down well. We're hoping to go even bigger and better in 2011." |
