Mark it in your diary for the upcoming Penrith Valley Formula Powerboats Grand Prix series with the Grand Finale round billed for the weekend of 28 - 29 August.More than 50 teams from across Australia will compete, making it the largest fleet of competitors ever to come together for a Formula Powerboat event.
These super speedy boats, which clock up to 250km/h, will make for amazing action and there will be plenty of off-track displays and promotions at the venue, the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith City.
Penrith City Mayor Kevin Crameri OAM said: “We’ll be seeing world-class talent at the regatta centre for the first time in two years. Come on over to see who secures the national championship.
“Look out for Cranebrook local and Formula 1 Champion in 2008, Shane Vella. He stands poised to continue his unbroken run of podium finishes, but will face strong competition from Damien McKenzie after a strong 2010 season thus far.
“On show will be Formula 1, 2 and 3 categories plus the Formula Futures, the category for junior races and intended to be the entry level to Formula Powerboat racing and the Sports Mono.”
The Futures range in age from eight to 16.
