caterhamnut Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This one may have to run for a while! Great news though. I hope Newey gets to follow his dream and contribute as well... here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynicolson Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Angus.. (thx for FB mx)... there is a large amount of un-shared news on this... I almost posted on FB and deleted due to NDA's etc, BC is safer(ish!)... Lets just say there is a huge amount going on very quickly here... though as I am v against one plan as are 45% of the involved there are many hurdles to cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GF04RCE Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It will be great to see a bit more coverage with the British entry.... The last cup was just incredible and as usual passed so many by. If they can continue with the current format, incorporate a more regular racing season as they started to do the potential is on an F1 scale. I would have thought this would be something Maclaren would be jumping at to get involved in. I am guessing he biggest challenge is instigating an infrastructure from scratch, again why teaming up with the likes of Maclaren makes sense. We watch with eager excitement as in Ben we trust David M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atinod Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Fantastic news and it is certainly an event to watch - brilliant in so many ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Riches Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So if McLaren take part another New Zealand connection with the racing would come about. Can't keep them sticky beak Kiwis' out of anything!!! Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GF04RCE Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 oops... been pushing kids around in buggies too long.... when I referred to the potential of Maclaren getting involved I did of course mean Mclaren David M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wight Skipper Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Adrian Newey was in the hospitality area of the Isle of Wight Festival last night for the Red Hot Chillis. Thought about getting a selfie with him but went for Alisha Dixon instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jradley Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Can someone please explain to me.....Oracle Team USA will be defending in the one-on-one race in 2017, but they are also competing in the challenger series taking place this year and next. Is it irrelevant where they come, since they will be in the final as it were anyway ? I'm confused. Apart from good practice for them I don't see why they are taking part now.Cheers,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wight Skipper Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just crew tuning I guess. And keeping an eye on what the other teams are up to. I'm afraid I can't get excited by this warm-up series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame there isnt wider coverage.there is a really good chance they will get to contend for the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wight Skipper Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 This isn't the Americas Cup. It's some sort of Mickey Mouse series of events to try to gain exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Golf Juliet Tango Posted June 9, 2017 Leadership Team Share Posted June 9, 2017 I kept a weather-eye on the series in Bermuda. No more than checking on the BBC website, didn't look further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBaker Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 You can get the live races on BT Sport, they were showing the early ones free to air but now you need to have paid. The races start around 6pm full calendar hereThere is still British interest on the Swedish Artemis boat which has two British Olympic medalists onboard.
