Ben (ASBO) Adams is coming out of retirement for the 2010 season and will be competing with fierce and fiesty female Tilly Long.
After attending a training day these guys were hooked! 2009 was their debut season and gained a nickname 'flipper'. By the end of the 2009 season this competitive team dedcided they needed a secret wepon for the 2010 season.
After winning the 2007 longhaul world championship as a co-pilot, Etienne decided to adopt the role of Pilot. Pairing up with Will this determined team gained some fantastic results. We are looking forward to watching the team battle it out on the water for podium positions.
In 2009 brothers Jon and Edd Redman launched Redrourke Racing to become the youngest combined aged crew ever to race in the UK Thundercat series. During their first season they achieved a podium position at every event, finished 3rd overall in the P750s class and were awarded Newcomer of the Year. This family run team is based near Southampton and working hard to realise their full potential.
Bligh has been in and around powerboat racing for as long as he can remember watching his Dad in off shore racing. Starting Zapcat Racing back in 2001 Bligh is no 'rooky' to the sport although this will be his first year in P750 with the 'big boys' he is expected to be a massive contender in the 2010 championship.
