Cowes, 25th August – Kawasaki Ultra 300 rider Russell Marmon (Christchurch, Dorset) conquered incredibly challenging, rough conditions off Egypt Point on the Isle of Wight today, Saturday, 25th August, to take a pair of superb P1 AquaX Championship victories. Substantially increasing his lead at the top of the standings with just one event remaining at Weymouth in Dorset next month, the reigning P1 AquaX Champion came into his own in the wind, rain and choppy seas to really take a firm stranglehold on the outright championship. Race two was the more difficult of today’s encounters, worsening rain and stronger gusts than earlier in the day making things even more gruelling. Unlike race one though, Marmon led throughout and controlled the action during the closing laps to win comfortably from the impressive Tim Batte (Hinckley) with Sea-Doo Challenge pace-setter Paul Rivett (Banstead) a sensational third.

London, 22nd August To celebrate the return of the P1 AquaX Championship to Cowes this weekend, series sponsor Sea-Doo is inviting the Solent jet skiers to come and try its stunning range of personal watercraft. Sea-Doo will be based in the AquaX paddock in the Cowes Yacht Haven and local jet ski enthusiasts are welcome to come along to its display and sign-up to ride one of its demo fleet craft under the watchful eyes of an RYA instructor Steve Poulton. “Having the Sea-Doo display and exciting demo fleet adds a dynamic element to our presence at the Powerboat Racing Festival and gives local riders the chance to try Sea-Doo skis exactly like the ones racing in the Sea-Doo Challenge”, said championship manager Lisa Barsby. “We are also running a training session on Friday for anyone who wants to join the series and race at the remaining rounds, all of which take place along the south coast.” Launched at the start of this season, the new Sea-Doo Challenge has added an exciting dimension to the burgeoning AquaX Championship. It attracted multiple car-racing champion Paul Rivett to add jet-ski racing to his 2012 season. He took his maiden victory in the Sea-Doo Challenge at the second round in Hull and backed that up with a win in Eastbourne last month. However, current Championship leader Steve Robinson will not give up easily and with the best four results counting towards the championship, it’s still anyone’s game. Sea-Doo Challenge standings after 4 races are: 1. S. Robinson 58 points; 2. P. Rivett 49; 3. R. Sired 48; 4. L. Kwiatkowski 46; 5. A. Wilson 32; 6. R. Higgs 17; 7. W. Curtis 16. Round four of the P1 Aqua X Championship, the Cowes Grand Prix of the Sea, features qualifying and two back-to-back races on Saturday 25th August. Racing starts at 11.30 with qualifying followed by race 1 at 13.45 and race 2 at 16.00. And that’s not all as AquaX Freestyler Jack Moule will be thrilling the crowds with his stunning tricks and flips adjacent to the Yacht Haven from 12.30.
