CIRCUIT POWERBOAT ASSOCIATION

Lowestoft & oulton broad motor boat racing club.

The inaugural motorboat race meeting was held during Oulton Broad Regatta Week on Thursday 20th August 1903 as part of the sailing programme organised by the The Royal Norfolk & Suffolk Yacht Club, under the auspices of the Norfolk Automobile & Launch Club. This was the third race meeting to be held in East Anglia, the two previous having been held during the Wroxham Broad Regatta. Six motorised launches competed in the single heat handicap race which was won by the steam launch Monarch driven by Mr. T. Jary.

In the same time a proposed offshore race off Lowestoft was cancelled due to rough conditions, but it eventually took place the following year. In 1905 this event was moved inshore to Oulton Broad and organised by the British Motor Boat Club. This first meeting entirely devoted to motorboats was won by Mr. F. Shepherd in his 19ft launch Betty powered by a 20hp Brooke inboard who took home the W. Brooke & Co. Trophy.

All racing was terminated on the outbreak of WW1, and it was not until September 1929 that offshore racing was resumed at Lowestoft with the first running of the Daily Mirror Trophy, but due to rough conditions the event was postponed for several years.

The Oulton Broad Motor Boat Club was founded in 1933 by local dentist Charlie Nichols and organised its first race meeting in September of that year. The Mirror newspaper was again persuaded to sponsor the trophy with a £100 first prize, and it was transferred to Oulton Broad in 1936. The starting gun was fired 4000 miles away in the USA from outside his boathouse by world water speed record holder Gar Wood, the sound being transmitted by transatlantic telephone. The winner was George Treglown in his 250cc Johnson powered hydroplane Black Magic. The American Treglown family, who lived on the edge of the Broad, were prominent pre-war racers and members of the first British team to compete in overseas outboard events in Europe and the USA during the late 1930’s. Edward Treglown also organised speed record attempts on the New Cut at Haddiscoe, setting a national 350cc B class record of 37.07 mph. In 1937 the Club organised its first international race which attracted a 3-boat team from Germany for the Daily Mirror Trophy. For the 6pentrance fee a crowd of 10,000 saw a fantastic speed of 32.23 mph reached by the winner Geoff Holt, a member of the Lancashire Club, who beat 23 entrants heats driving the 350cc Johnson powered Jeep.

Around 1948 one of the best known craft of the local racing scene appeared on the Broad Toby Suttons Lycoming powered Whisso-Bang. Her fame spread far and wide attracting visitors en-masse to the park. Whisso was superseded by another spectacular inboard hydroplane Rooster. This fiery boat was probably one of the biggest influences of many drivers. Big, noisy and fast, it had everything to appeal to spectators.

The Club received a boost at this time when Guy Batholomew, a director of the Daily Mirror newspaper, became interested in the racing whilst on holiday in the area. Keen to revive racing after the war, he commissioned Alan Darby to build six identical single step hydroplanes powered by British Anzani 350cc engines. These craft were hired at £10 for the season to local businessmen during the early 1950s. The idea proved a tremendous success because the following year these drivers went out and bought their own outfits. The popularity of inboard racing continued into the 1960’s thanks to the Albatross Marine concern at St Olaves who produced a range of aluminium runabouts.

By 1970 inboard runabout racing had disappeared although the Albatross is still very popular with members of the Classic Motor Boat Club. The inboards were superseded by outboard runabouts which were easily to maintain with numerous craft being constructed by the Yarmouth based Toby Marine (of Rooster fame) and by Yarecraft at Gorleston, owned by Frank and Francis Holmes. The 1960s also saw the introduction of inboard hydro racing with Nigel Bilton dominating the 1000ccImp powered category, finishing runner-up in the World R1 Championship at Nottingham in 1981.

At this time the runabout class saw a major change of direction in hull design when the first catamaran appeared on the Broad, when Pat Atkinson from Yarmouth acquired Akamo from Austrian boat builder Dieter Schulze. He was later joined by Bob Spalding and Tom Percival who went on to gain international success as works drivers for the major engine manufacturers. Bob became the Club’s first World Champion when he won the Formula 1 series in 1980. A major milestone in the Clubs history occurred in 1985 with a visit by Her Majesty the Queen and H.R.H. Prince Philip, who watched a drive-past of racing boats.

The outboard hydroplane section was revitalised in 1980 when Rex King introduced the 350cc Yamato motor from Japan, a class later adopted by the UIM (the world governing body) for international competition. Having organised several ordinary international races over the years, the Club was finally awarded its first major U.I.M. titled meeting when it successfully organised the World OSY.400 Championship in 1998. Competitors from as far afield as China, U.S.A. and Estonia competed in a outstanding event, with the overall title going to Marian Jung from Slovakia. The Club organised as second World OSY.400 Championship in 2007 with local driver Sean Barnard taking the title in spectacular style.

Notes for this year

Dinghy handicap racing.

For club racing on Saturdays and Sundays (not Oulton Week) the normal format will be Average Lap racing. Competitors are reminded to pass through the start/finish line gate on each lap.

Boats with PY handicap numbers below 1250 race in the Fast Handicap; those with PY handicap numbers of 1250 or above (e.g. Toppers, Mirrors, RS Teras, and Optimists) race in the Slow Handicap fleet.

Boats with PY handicap numbers between 1190 and 1249 may seek permission of the OOD to sail in the Slow Handicap fleet if they prefer shorter races.

Saturday racing:

Fast and Slow Handicap series on Saturdays will again be divided into 3 sections and the trophies will be awarded as follows:

April to end of May: Fast Handicap races for The Festival Trophy; Slow Handicap races for David Brooke Shield.

June to end August:  Fast Handicap trophy for the Summer Tankard; Slow Handicap races for Summer Cup.

September and October:  Fast Handicap races for The Bob Niblett Trophy; Slow Handicap races for The Waterfront Shield.

Both races each Saturday will count towards the relevant trophy.

Waveney and main Mixed Keel series will run from April to October as in previous years.

Mixed Keels (racing at same time as Waveney's) will be split into 3 series: April to end May, June to end August, September + October.

Sunday racing: 

The start times for the second set of races this year have been altered slightly, to make the gap between races the same as on a Saturday and on a winter Sunday. The Fast and Slow Handicaps, and the 10:18 Mixed Keels for BODs and Squibs will be split into 3 series: Spring April and May; Summer June, July and August; and Autumn September and October.

Fast Handicap Spring series for the Alderson Trophy. Autumn Series for the Elton Trophy. Slow Handicap Spring series for the Nellie Crockett Trophy, Autumn Series for the WOBYC 1974 Trophy. Summer Series? We are hoping new trophies will be donated!

The Waveney Class and the 2nd Mixed Keel race will run from April to October.

Juniors in Slow Handicap club races:

Juniors may be coached during Slow Handicap races for club points. If a junior capsizes and receives help to recover or get into their boat, they may continue in the race if the safety boat driver agrees.

Laser sailors should declare at the start of a points series which rig they intend to sail with. This will determine the handicap that is applied. For example, standard rig boats may use the radial or 4.7 rig but the standard handicap will still apply. If a 4.7 changes to the radial rig, or a radial changes to the standard rig, they will be scored as new entrants to the series.

Please note: Results are calculated by counting competitors scores in 50% + 1 of the races sailed in a series. 

Results for open meetings and regattas are calculated as per the notice of race for the event..

K1s and Flying Fifteens may compete in Fast Handicap races.

Lowestoft & Oulton Broad Motor Boat Club

Affiliated to the british power boat association.

The Club on the Park

Originally published by the Lowestoft & Oulton Broad Motor Boat Club in 1985,“The Club on the Park” chronicles the 109-year history of motor boat racing on Oulton Broad from the inaugural steam launch race organised in August 1903, to the 100 mph craft of the present day, thus making it the world’s oldest motorboat racing venue.

Produced in a larger format, new chapters are devoted to the pre-war influence of Brooke Marine and the enthusiastic support of Howard Hollingsworth - who donated Everitt's Park to the local council - and Daily Mirror director Guy Bartholomew.  This led to the formation of the original motor boat club in 1933 by local dentist Charlie Nichols with support from the influential American Treglown family who owned a convenient Broadside property.

The story continues throughout the post-war era, a period which attracted huge crowds to the Nicholas Everitt Park to witness local outboard favourites such as Billy Nichols and Alan Darby, and spectacular inboards like “Rooster”, the iconic Chevrolet-powered hydroplane piloted by Gt Yarmouth businessman Toby Sutton.

The following decade saw the introduction of the sports runabout - popularised by the St Olaves-based Albatross Marine -  and the sensational twin-hulled catamaran which revolutionised the world of powerboat racing, leading to the formation of the factory 'works' teams led by East Anglian's Tom Percival and Bob Spalding.

It concludes with the successful organising of UIM World and European championships on the Broad and at other venues, plus a 11-page appendix listing the achievements of LOBMBC race competitors at both national and international level.

The original publication has seen a major revision and expanded to 114 pages and now includes over 200 photographs.

Moscow Street Circuit

Circuit Overview

The Formula E Championship has succeeded where many others – from Formula One to DTM – have failed, by hosting a race on the streets of Moscow. The announcement of the additional race in June 2015 was something of a coup for the race organisers and the chosen location certainly has a memorable backdrop.

Located in the shadow of the Kremlin, the track was a late addition to the schedule, only being confirmed in February 2015 after a planned race in Rio de Janeiro fell through.  Despite some difficulties in getting the track set up in the lead-up to the race, it was a largely successful affair, with Sebastian Buemi being among those to single it out for praise.

Somewhat surprisingly, it proved to be a one-off.  Despite being listed on the 2016-17 season calendar, the event was cancelled a month before the race when unforeseen circumstances related to road closures meant the circuit could not be set up.

Circuit History

The Formula E race followed a number of demonstration events held within the city, including a run in 2011 by the French EF01 Formulec electric racing car. This course was located in a similar area of the city to the ePrix but stretched further down the riverside alongside the walls of the Kremlin and also crossed the river.

When Rio's planned E-Prix fell apart in December 2014, Formula E bosses began frantic negotiations for a replacement round. Moscow had been mooted as a host city for some time, but with new urgency to confirm an event, talks accelerated. In February 2015, it was announced that the series would be coming to the Russian capital for the first time on 6 June.

The location for the circuit itself was certainly spectacular. Located in the shadow of the Kremlin, it started alongside the Moskva River before circling the site of the former Rossiya Hotel – a gigantic unloved Soviet-era monolith that was once the largest hotel in the world before being demolished in 2007. During the lap the cars also took in Staraya Square, home to the former headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, now used as the offices of the Presidential Administration of Russia.

Among the other famous buildings the racers sped by were the Gostiny Dvor merchant hall (now a fashionable exhibition centre); the iconic St Basil's Cathedral with its colourful spires; and the imposing walls of the Kremlin, making this one of the most memorable street circuits in the world.

The lap itself ran in an anti-clockwise direction from the start line, taking the cars along the northern bank of the river to the 90-degree Turn 1 left-hander.  This led onto a long straight which headed into the sweeping Turn 2 right-hander, before hard braking into Turn 3.  Here the circuit turn left through 90 degrees before a similar corner at Turn 4, followed the slightly more open radius Turn 5 right-hand corner.

The lap then opened out along the curving Turn 6 and onto a short straight ending the circuit's only right-left-right chicane, dropping slightly downhill. Turn 10, a long left hand curve, then followed, leading into the switchback hairpin sections of Turns 11 and 12.  A short straight then lead to the final corner, a 90-degree left hander.

Nelson Piquet Jr was the first and only winner of the Moscow ePrix, after he took the lead at the first turn diving inside pole sitter Jean-Eric Vergne.  The Brazilian sprinted to a good lead, which he only lost briefly during the pit stop phase, before regaining the head of the field and cruising to victory.

And that proved to the be that, with the planned return visit in 2016 never getting off the ground.  The Russian ePrix was gone as quickly as it had arrived and today there is very little sign on the streets that it ever took place.

Location information.

The Moscow ePrix was located in the heart of Moscow's historic centre, next to the Kremlin and St Basil's Cathedral. International flights into Moscow arrive at one of two airports – Domodedovo or Sheremetyevo – and there are good public transport links to the city centre.

Finding where the race took place should not be difficult, located as it was in the heart of the historic and tourist-friendly part of the city. Getting about the city should also be straightforward as Moscow is served by an extensive transit network, which includes nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground metro systems in the world, the Moscow Metro.

Tickets on the Moscow cost R40 for one journey anywhere within the system. A block of 20 tickets costs R500. The extensive bus, tram and trolleybus system is just as cheap. There are no English-language signs in the metro, so count the stops to make sure you get off at the right place.

Marussia f1 team return to russia for moscow city racing, andy webb, marussia ceo: we have seen the strength of that support again in the last few days following the very pleasing announcement of our new powertrain partnership with scuderia ferrari..

Photo by: XPB Images

Despite the three-week gap between Rounds 9 and 10 of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship® the Marussia F1 Team has had little time to draw breath, embarking on a series of promotional events to reward the loyal support of its fans.

This week, while the race team conduct the Young Driver Test at Silverstone, the demonstration team are heading ‘home’ to Russia for their second year of participation in ‘Moscow City Racing’.

The event takes place on 20 and 21 July, with the demonstration runs scheduled for Sunday 21 July on the streets surrounding the Kremlin and the ‘paddock’ located close to Red Square.

Visitors will also be given the opportunity to enter the inner-sanctum - the Paddock - to soak up the atmosphere and see for themselves the intricacies of Formula 1 design and engineering.

Aside from his on-track duties, Max will participate in a range of promotional activities, taking time out to mingle with the Russian fans during autograph sessions and photo opportunities.

Supporting the Marussia F1 Team over the weekend are main event partner Liga Stavok along with additional partners Instaforex, QNet and RBC.

Max Chilton: “There have been quite a few ‘firsts’ for me in my debut season in Formula One - new racetracks, new cities, meeting new fans - and Moscow City Racing will be my very first visit to Russia. I can’t wait. From what I hear from previous events, the demonstration runs are a fantastic spectacle and the crowd is huge and very supportive.

That’s nice, because we are the only Anglo-Russian team and it is good to keep building on their love of Formula 1 before Russia gets its very own race next year in Sochi. I’m really excited about making the trip and I hope to meet as many of the Russian fans as possible, when I’m not driving through their streets!”

Andy Webb, CEO: “The Marussia F1 Team are very excited to be returning to Russia to participate in the Moscow City Racing event for a second successive year. As the only Anglo-Russian team in Formula One, this event has become a very important date in our Team calendar, as we continue our determined efforts to bring more of F1 to Russia and more of Russia to F1.

This is our opportunity to get closer to the fans and for them to see our car and drivers right on their doorstep, not just on the TV. Our drivers Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton are enjoying a flying start to their exciting debut seasons and the Marussia F1 Team really is going from strength to strength now, making good progress towards its long-term ambitions.

We look forward to a fantastic crowd in Moscow and to expressing our thanks for all the incredible support we receive ‘back home’ in Russia. We have seen the strength of that support again in the last few days following the very pleasing announcement of our new powertrain partnership with Scuderia Ferrari. It seems the fans share our optimism for the future of the Marussia F1 Team.”
