LPRC “Big Race Weekend”

An absolutely enjoyable weekend was had by several of our club members at the Lancashire Powerboat Racing Club event at the weekend. The organisation and atmosphere was fantastic so thanks to all involved!

Thomas Mantripp put in numerous laps of propeller testing ahead of his 2026 World & European Championship attempts. James Green's classic O.350 didn’t miss a beat and he was joined on Sunday by the the rest of the Greens of Beccles team where Wayne Turner put in some very fast pace lap times.

The OSY class had Ben Sallis setting things up for his WC/EC campaign and found some additional speed whilst newcomer Brodie Lane got to grips with her outfit and displayed she will be one to watch.

GT30 2025 British Champion Mason Jessup had some good battles with Jamie Atlee and Ethan Goodfellow and looked to still have winning pace.

Finally the GT15’s…..always smiling, both Mille Bowman & Riley Hudson enjoyed laps and laps of setting up their new Povvat craft with some fierce first lap battles in the mini races, good solid driving all round! To top things off and the biggest smile of the weekend went to Millie’s younger sister Daisy who for an absolute novice looked an absolute natural! Time for a double trailer for the GT15 team Bowman!

Great photos captured by Stevie R & Mick Harling

And before anyone asks……unfortunately we have no updates to give on a return to racing at the club!
