Sea-Doo X-Team Dominates the 2014 Kings Cup Race with James Bushell Claiming the Premier Pro Open Championship

Valcourt, QC, CANADA– December 9, 2014 – BRP closes the 2014 watercraft racing season with a dominating performance at the recent King’s Cup winning six of the seven runabout championships featuring modern four-stroke models. Sea-Doo racers from around the world congregated in Thailand to compete in the last high-profile race of the year and did so in true X-TEAM manner. Of the 21 available podium positions in the modern watercraft classes, Sea-Doo riders filled 16 of them.

Current world champion James Bushell added the King’s Cup Pro Open championship to his already stellar list accolades aboard the Sea-Doo RXP-X. Bushell lead the charge with a dominating performance on his 158-Perfromance backed Sea-Doo RXP-X in the Pro Open class. Bushell has claimed seven World Championships in the past four years aboard an RXP-X T³ hull equipped watercraft and continued that momentum at this year’s King’s Cup.  Bushell has relied on the tight turning and true tracking of the T³ hull and staying connected to the 400+ horsepower produced by his modified, turbo powered Rotax 4-TEC engine tuned by the Sea-Doo Centre.
