Dan Hipgrave former guitarist from the indie band Toploader, now a freelance journalist and presenter came down to Southampton last week to find out all about Zapcats from Vortex Racing.

Dan joined Championship winner Mick Pritchard as his co-pilot for the morning whilst Craig Davis and Baz Minns accompanied them on the water in the Vortex Racing Zapcats.

Although cold, the weather was exceptional and Dan had a fantastic time progressing from slightly apprehensive to a true convert even taking control of the tiller himself at the end of the session.

Dan was very interested in the National Championship and how we ran our Zapcat events, from someone who not seen or heard of a Zapcat before he was totally hooked at the end.

May the Force (field) be with you...

Sorry just had to be done - Only taken 30 years to be able to use that line!

Following some very successful trials in the surf at Watergate Bay at the end of the 2007 season, not only have the Vortex Racing Team wholeheartedly endorsed the Forcefield Body Armour range from Davies Odell but we have also been approved as a dealer and can also announce that Forcefield will be one of our sponsors for 2008. Please see our online shop for our recommendations and special offers.
 

A big Thank You to NGK UK

NGK UK have renewed and increased their sponsorship to the Vortex Racing team for 2008.

They can now add Zapcat power boating to their list of motorsport wins which include F1, WRC, Touring Cars and Motorcycles.
 

Pimp that RIB!

Some rather inclement weather has unfortunately meant postponing a couple of events recently, however this has allowed us the opportunity to not only carry out our annual maintenance programme but also add an extra dimension to our events for 2008. Thanks to our friends at Marine AV we now have the capability to add music as well as commentary to our events.

Managing Director Martin Jupp said

“With Stag groups or Corporate Days many people know each other but on Activity experiences it is not until everyone has had a turn on the Zapcats do people start to talk to each other and share the day, with music and our instructors enthusiasm this will add that extra wow factor to events!”
