Sutera Harbour Marina - F2000 World Cup Powerboat Race

The F2000 Worlds Cup power boat race is being help of Kota Kinabalu this weekend and a course has been laid out North of Sutera Harbour Marina off the waterfront. the race is the final of a series of races in which two British brothers are sharing the lead. O nthe first practice race hower it was Frenchman Jean Baptise who was setting the pce in the time trials.

The local organisers Powersport events are to be commended for bringing the race to Sabah, however they have a lot to learn by way of keeping the public informed with what is happening. thousands of people lined the waterfront to see the boats racing but know one has as clue as to which boat is which which makes a mockery of the whole event.

The Public came out to support the event but the organisers seemed to have spent more time and money setting up sideshows instead of profividing information about the racing.
