Happy 13th Birthday to our Team 21 driver Riley!! Officially a teenager today🎉🥳🎁🎈

04/05/2026

This weekend Team 21 travelled to Carr Mill, to attend Lancashire Powerboat Racing Club weekend race event. Enjoying excellent weather and lots of valuable time on the water throughout the event.

Riley was particularly pleased to return to his favourite racing venue. The team used the opportunity to experiment with different setups, ensuring a productive and enjoyable weekend on the water. Although only two GT15 boats were present, both competitors made the most of the conditions, engaging in some mini 3 lap races on the second day to fine tune their race starts.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Lancashire Powerboat Racing Club, The Dam Bar & Grill, as well as all officials, safety crews, Osprey Rescue, volunteers, and everyone involved in organising and supporting the event.

A massive thank you to all our sponsors for their support

This weekend saw Team21 travel to Stewartby Powerboat and Hydroplane Racing for the first test/British Masters Championship weekend. Unfortunately storm Dave had different ideas and decided to cut the weekend short. But the little test we did get done, Riley was loving the new boat and looked very happy to finally be back on the water.

Thank you to all the officials, rescue teams and volunteers for all your hard work in difficult conditions.
Thank you to all involved in putting on the social evening as well.

And a massive thank you to our sponsors and continued support of

Riley Hudson is one of the standout young competitors in the British GT15 powerboat racing scene. Racing with number 21 in a Povvat hull powered by a Tohatsu MFS15E, Riley has already built an impressive record of success since beginning his racing journey in 2022.

Inspired by watching his uncle Brad compete in GT30, Riley developed a passion for speed, adrenaline, and the competitive edge of powerboat racing from an early age. That spark quickly turned into ambition, and once he stepped into a boat himself, his natural talent became impossible to ignore.

Riley’s rise through the ranks has been fast and determined. At club level, he has dominated the GT15 category at LOBMBC, securing back to back Club Championships in 2024 and 2025, following his earlier success as the 2023 Stewartby Masters Champion. His consistency, sharp race craft, and fearless approach to overtaking have made him a driver to watch at every event.

On the national stage, Riley added to his growing reputation by becoming the 2023 Sprint Champion, proving he can perform under pressure and deliver results when it matters most.

Supported by sponsors C & L Waste Oils Ltd, Brads Recovery, Wilby Agri Services, and G. Engineering, Riley now sets his sights on the 2026 season, where he will compete in all four rounds of the SWSC British Masters Championship. With each year bringing more experience and confidence, he continues to push himself toward the front of the fleet.

Riley’s favourite course is Carr Mill, a venue that suits his bold driving style and love for high speed racing. His long term ambitions are clear and unapologetically ambitious: to become British Champion, and one day, World Champion.

Driven, focused, and fuelled by the thrill of competition, Riley Hudson is carving out a name for himself as one of the most promising young racers in British powerboating — and his journey is only just beginning.
