Hello Jon. Looks like fun. If I get the chance I may collect my son and call in for a gander. Not been to a Hovercraft race event before. Cheers.JT

Pop in, there are paddock open sessions for you to come and have a look at the craft and chat with the drivers.

Thought this might wet your appetite...

Yes the hovercraft racing was great fun to watch today.Best spectator position was where they raced from the land section of the circuit to the water based section. Lots of chaos and incidents/collisions when the drivers got it wrong. Watching the novices was fun although I assume it is harder than it looks to control these craft.Those F1's really do shift. Thanks for the info Jon my son & I had a good day out, he even got a ride in a hovercraft at lunch time.JT
