Audi "factory” driver Allan McNish used the break between the American Le Mans Series rounds at Portland and Road America for quite an unusual test drive: Promoting the British P1 Powerboat Grand Prix, the Scotsman tried the 525-hp SuperSport Powerboat of British World Championship driver Jackie Hunt in the Solent waters off Southampton. The British P1 Powerboat Grand Prix website describes the series: Its exhilarating, dramatic, action-packed and one of the fastest growing motorsports in Europe. In the finest of racing traditions, sleek powerful machines, in the hands of 'Signor Pilotas', compete for the challenge and the glory. Echoing the great history of races such as Le Mans, Sebring, the Targa Floria or the Mile Millia, this is Powerboat P1, a fresh dynamic lifestyle sport where talented racers demonstrate daring and great skill as they take on the might of the open seas in a series of closely-fought endurance races. Televised to over 100million homes worldwide, Powerboat P1 combines spectacular action, with the glamour of international motorsport. Racing takes place close to the shoreline in some of Europe’s finest holiday seaside destinations attracting large crowds. Last season the carnival atmosphere of a Powerboat P1 race weekend was enjoyed by over 280,000 people. More Information www.PowerBoatP1.com
