So far Interest in the 2008 Round Britain Powerboat Race has been quite phenomenal . Many potential competitors, some from the 1984 event, have already registered their interest in taking part and as in 1969 and 1984 we expect that over fifty powerboats will cross the start line on their first leg .

The Honda Formula 4-Stroke Powerboat Series first began on 29 May 1999 on a stormy Saturday in Torquay. The inaugural race was made-up of five two-person crews bravely taking to the water amidst thunder, lightning, hail and high winds. Nine years and over 75 races later, 2007 witnesses over 36 teams racing over five weekends, a remarkable achievement and one that demonstrates the undeniable success of the Series which today represents the largest off-shore powerboat race series in the world.
