Powerboat P1 made the official announcement back in August that the 2022 P1 AquaX Bahamas World Championship would once again be hosted in Nassau at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort.
The three-day event is scheduled from November 4-6 2022, and marks the climax of the P1 AquaX personal watercraft race season. The event will feature a mix of more than 30 professional and amateur riders from North America, the Caribbean, and Western Europe. The opening day will include practice, testing, and qualifying, followed by six races across the weekend.
“Dubbed the GOAT or the Greatest of All Time by friends, colleagues and fellow competitors, veteran rider Chris MacClugage is the sport’s most decorated and highest winning world champion. He will be one the favorites in Nassau along with this year’s P1 AquaX Pro Enduro champion Jimmy Wilson from North Carolina.” According to an AquaX press release.
Jimmy Wilson’s Broward Motorsports team-mate Dustin Farthing from Georgia and 2021 Pro class champion Erminio Iantosca will also be serious contenders at the event, according to AquaX.
Thomas Favolini “The Flying Frenchman” returns to Nassau after the 2019 World Championship where mechanical problems knocked out his ski, while Jay Finlinson from Northern Indiana will be vying for the Amateur International Cup in the AM 300 Class.
The event will be broadcast in the United States on the Bally Sports Regional Networks and CBS Sports Network, with international coverage on leading sports channels in more than 100 million homes in over 50 countries.
