The 2008 World Hovercraft Championship runs from August 20th-24th in Flotsbro in Sweden.
Over the next few days the drivers and their families and friends from TeamGB will be making the long trek out there to race against the best in World and bring back trophies*.
More than forty drivers have registered from the UK from Formula 1 to Juniors and all points in between.
You can keep up to date with the event by visiting the official timing site at www.worlds.raceresults.info
I would personally like to wish everyone the very best of luck and hope you all have a safe, successful and all-round cracking time.

*If past events are anything to go by, it's everyone else who's racing against the best in the world but nothing is certain!
