This was the first time the tournament was held in the North West as the fast-paced sport continues to grow in popularity!
An East Lancashire town played host to the European Hovercraft Championships where ‘world-class’ hovercraft drivers competed in a heated competition. Starting on Saturday May 25, the championships took place on Magnolls Farm in Oswaldtwistle and saw three days of 80mph-plus amphibious racing thrill both racers and spectators alike.
Noted as being a sport which is ‘growing in popularity’ by organisers, hovercraft racing is entirely unpaid with many drivers building their own vehicles. Races varied from junior categories all the way up to 'Formula One' where there’s no limit to crafts’ engine power.
