Well we did it! Team Pulsar Racing achieved many of the goals we set out to at the beginning of this great adventure. The 1600 mile marathon that was the Round Britain Offshore Powerboat Race 2008 took us from Portsmouth, on the 21st June, where we then circumnavigated the coast of Britain in a clockwise direction arriving back in Portsmouth 10 exhausting days later. Both the Pulsar direct boats not only finished the race but also finished in the top 25 of all the boats taking part. A commendable performance from the Team considering for most of them this was their first major endurance race. With these finishing positions also came two trophies awarded to Team Pulsar Racing, both awarded to Vampire, the first The Moore Family Trophy was for the lowest powered, highest finisher. The second trophy awarded was the Round Britain Trophy for bravery and determination for being one of only two boats to circumnavigate the whole course including the cancelled leg from Plymouth to Milford Haven encountering 8m high waves round Lands End in the process!

Of course none of this would have been possible without an awful lot of other people who all require our thanks, to our major partners Pulsar direct Ltd, R.B.M. Spa of Italy, Wolf Heating GMBH of Germany, Unidelta Spa of Italy, Orkli S.Coop of Spain, DAB Spa of Italy and Valsir Spa also from Italy we thank you all for the valuable contributions that you made, without your support this adventure would have never got off of the ground.
