Gold Coast Power Boat & Sports Club

🫣 what's this! Follow Queensland APBA for all the details. We will also share details here 🏁

After considerable effort, it is with disappointment that Gold Coast Power Boat and Sports Club announce the cancellation of Lockyer Powerfest 2026, primarily due to challenges in securing sponsorship and uncertainty regarding fuel supply.

Our heartfelt thanks to our supporters, sponsors and boat racing community, and we eagerly anticipate Lockyer Powerfest 2027.

Some great watching 🏁
catch all the action from the 2024 National Drivers Championships at the Windsor Spectacular on 7 mate!

How about some Battery World National Drivers Championship action with your wheaties in the morning.. For the next three mornings, 7mate will be re-running the 2024 Windsor Spectacular season finale at 8:00am, but for those that miss it, you can always replay the full Series of NDC programs on 7plus 😍📺🏁

Good luck to our Gold Coast Power Boat and Sports Club members that are racing in Windsor this weekend, representing our club!

We hope you all have a safe and successful weekend!🏁
