BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 2, 2021 / When COVID-19 put the world on hold for most of 2020, powerboat racing was no exception to the frequent and long-lasting shutdowns. As events from the 2020 Race World Offshore Key West Championships to the St. Clair River Classic Offshore Race were indefinitely postponed, racers had to reckon with how they would take advantage of this unexpected off-season.
World champion powerboat racer Hugh Fuller took this hiatus as a time to reset and refocus: “The shutdown of powerboat racing in 2020 was difficult because, just like with any other sport, it is important to keep up a consistent training schedule. Most of us were caught off guard, as was the rest of the world when most everything was shut down.”
Below, Hugh Fuller shares his thoughts on the racing break, as well as the future of racing in a post-pandemic world.
