P1 AquaX UK: Torquay, England 2018

The 2018 AquaX UK Championship kicks off for an explosive day of racing at the iconic south coast venue of Torquay on 14 April.

Host of the 2017 series finale, Torquay has been a fixture of the AquaX Tour intermittently since 2013 and has produced some spectacular racing.

Last year, Joe Harvey clinched the UK Championship in Torquay despite losing the weekend to Russell Marmon due to mechanical issues, whilst the 300 amateur class title came down to the wire as Richard Cable just prevailed from rival David Coe by five points.

Torquay is one of Devon's most historic towns and attracts thousands of tourists each year having been dubbed the 'English Riviera' for its healthy climate.
