Since World Hovercraft Championship Racing commenced in the late '80s, we have taken the opportunity to participate at all events as a means of stimulating technical development.

We started at the1989 "Worlds" in Troy, Ohio, USA, competing with our tiny all-composite Razor and placing 3rd.

A semi-production version of the Razor was used in the '91 UK event. This craft was fitted with a very powerful, but extremely unreliable 4 cylinder liquid-cooled engine.

The prototype Razor was heavily modified for Paris '93. Changes included a larger fan and the new Gates PolyChain drive system.

Logistical problems surfaced for WHC'95 in Portugal and consequently we were forced to compete on a Portuguese version of a Scat.

For WHC'97 we took 4 of our recently-developed Revtech Rockets to Luçon, France. Two of the craft were fitted with new liquid-cooled Yamaha VMax engines.

Our new "Aerodrive" rear drive system appeared for the British WHC2000, with 5 Rockets being raced. Four craft raced for Australia, with the fifth being acquired by Kent Gano of USA. The event was also intended to debut our revolutionary new "FireBlade" sweep blade but, following Team Leader Owen Ellis's altercation with a 300 year old oak tree (and his subsequent hospitisalisation), the fan's intro was put on hold. That event provided our first World title with Rob Waugh winning Formula S and Clinton Buckwell securing 4th. The following week Clinton and race partner Brian Rowland won the World Cup on their Rockets.

Terre Haute, Indiana, USA, was the venue for WHC2002. For this event we entered 5 Rockets and decided to show off our new Revtech Renegade in the F25 class. Although not competitive due to certain design constraints, it was primarly entered for the novelty and fun. Most importantly it provided Australia its first female international competitor, Lynne Ellis, who was placed a very creditable 6th.

The "FireBlade" fan finally made its WHC debut and contributed to our most successful "Worlds", Rockets placing 1st, 3rd, 4th and beyond. Again, Kent Gano raced his Rocket successfully for the USA.

For the 2004 event in Berlin, Germany, a decision was made to scale back our racing commitments to redeploy resources to the Renegade development program. As a consequence, we supported Angus Kerr from Queensland, Australia by giving his standard Rocket a heart transplant with a 140 bhp Rotax twin-cylinder engine. This was a 75% power increase over our 2002 World Champion Rocket. It was to be coupled to a new 8 bladed version of our "FireBlade" fan, but unfortunately some minor technical problems prevented the craft from showing its full potential.

Future international racing involvement is currently under review. We have plans for an Mp Rocket to supersede the Xp raced at Berlin and are standing by to see if the proposed Team Endurance Racing commences at WHC2006. Whatever transpires, our involvement will continue to focus on advanced technical development and excellence. If we happen to win a few races along the way, all the better!
