Coverage of the most exciting powerboat event of the T&T Calendar– the annual Carib Great Race! This year there was a hotly anticipated battle between US entry Fujitsu Fury and local champs Mr. Solo in the top flight M-class. 2009's staggered start made for a brilliant finish with boats of all classes meeting for their final laps in Store Bay, Tobago.
As promised we bring you another exciting power boating event. The big guns were out in full force and the respective throttle men faced the moderate chop with all the steelies they could muster!!
We caught the action of power boat racing with our lensman aboard a patrol boat. Up close and personal.

The Boats participating in the 2004 Great Race were on display at the Grand Bazaar. Carib Brewery, title sponsor for GR2004 took advantage of the opportunity to show off some of their hot new merchandise, worn by the ever popular Carib Girls..
The real thing. The longest running powerboat race in the world. 95 miles of pure exhilaration that you can never truly experience unless you run it yourself. It's either that or get yourself on a helicopter and go see it up close. For many people Great Race is a 'big lime' as we say in Trinidad. The biggest of this kind for the year as far as anyone is concerned. Until you can see the highlights on television and the pictures you can only imagine. We teamed up with Extreme Motorsports to get you in on the action. So... what are you waiting for?
