It‘s the first season in the history of this sport that the young riders in the Rookie and Junior category are fighting for the World Title. It’s also the first season of the Electric Challenge – the very first fully electric powered category of a kind in the history of powerboating. The city of Kazan welcomed riders from 7 different countries. The spectators witnessed riders representing Russia, the United States, Czech Republic, South Korea, Belgium, Slovakia and India, including Mr. Aliasgar Calcuttawala who participated in his first race on the WorldCup level.
