BRP’S SEA-DOO WATERCRAFT
RIDERS CLAIM PRO OPEN AND PRO GP CLASS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR FOURTH
CONSECUTIVE YEAR
Valcourt, Québec,
October 17, 2014 – BRP filled the weekend of the 2014 IJSBA World
Finals with excitement, led by Sea-Doo riders Jean-Baptiste Botti and James
Bushell winning the premier Pro Open and Pro GP world championships
respectively.
Both riders claimed their
championships on Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 models with this being Botti’s first Pro
Open world title and Bushell’s seventh World Title in four years.
“The RXP-X T3 hull has been so
good to me and has been key to winning seven World Titles*,” said Bushell. “The
T3 hull dynamics combined with the Ergolock system and my Sea-Doo Centre engine
package allows me to maintain maximum speed around the entire track.”
“BRP’s 12 Pro World Titles in
the last four years in the premier racing classes is a resounding statement for
the Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 model,” said Julie Tourville, Global Marketing Director,
Sea-Doo watercraft. “Both Botti and Bushell depended on the exclusive Sea-Doo
RXP-X T3 hull that allowed them to track straight through chop and lean into
corners to turn tighter and faster.”
The IJSBA World Finals is the
largest watercraft specific event in North America where the best racers from
around the globe converge to compete for World Championships. In addition to
the high-caliber racing, BRP also hosted the fourth annual Sea-Doo Ultimate Owners
Ride that saw a fleet of Sea-Doo watercraft owners ride from Lake Havasu to
Pirate Cove Resort in Topock, CA. The activities continued Saturday with the
“Under the London Bridge” night show that showcased the special Sea-Doo Bounty
SPARK Challenge invitational competition. All followed by the main event, the
Sea-Doo #SPARKSOMEFUN concert with internationally known music artist, TV
personality, and former pro Sea-Doo watercraft racer, Vanilla Ice.
