James Bushell is coming to America to compete in the US National Tour

Valcourt, QC, CANADA  –  BRP is proud to announce that multiple watercraft racing World Champion, James Bushell will be competing on the 2013 US IJSBA National Tour aboard his 158-Performance backed Sea-Doo RXP-X.

Bushell of the UK has won back-to-back IJSBA PRO Open and PRO GP World Championships in 2011 and 2012 since teaming with legendary Sea-Doo tuner Les Cooke of Australia’s Sea-Doo Centre. Bushell will compete in the PRO Open class aboard a modified Sea-Doo RXP-X in all seven 2013 tour rounds. Bushell has competed around the world including Europe, Dubai, Thailand, and others and has dedicated his 2013 season to challenging the best of the United States.

“I want to come to the United States to win the PRO Open Championship,” explains Bushell. “I want to race in the US against other former National Champions, help promote the sport, and bring another Championship to BRP on my Sea-Doo RXP-X from Sea-Doo Centre.”

Bushell is no newcomer to winning championships with a long and impressive resume as he looks to complete his long list of racing accomplishments by contesting the US National Tour. He was an integral part in the launch of the new Sea-Doo RXP-X platform in 2012 as he was the featured talent for print and video promotional materials. Bushell also teamed with Les Cooke early in 2011 to develop the racing elements of the Sea-Doo T3 hull that would later shock the world with two dominating performances at the IJSBA World Finals in October of that year.

The Sea-Doo RXP-X is equipped with designs and technologies that make every rider a better rider. The exclusive Sea-Doo T3 hull design tracks straighter through choppy conditions and combined with the Ergolock system, allows the rider to turn tighter with less effort. These exclusive BRP designs and the power of the Rotax 4-TEC Supercharged HO marine engine give the rider a clear performance advantage.  Riders can utilize the power more efficiently in all areas of high performance riding minimizing fatigue, cornering faster and seemingly shortening the racetrack compared to the competition.

SONY DSC“I am coming to the US to show that Sea-Doo watercraft are the best PWC on the market and to shake things up as some other racers have won the tour for too many years. I want to win!” concluded Bushell.

James Bushell will be basing out of Greensboro, North Carolina traveling with the Optima Racing team. His 2013 efforts will be supported by; 158 Performance, Sea-Doo Centre, Jet Tribe, and SB Components.

BRP Sea-Doo X-TEAM racer, James Bushell of the UK continued to build upon his legacy and that of the Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft by repeating as Pro GP and Pro Open World Champion at the recent 2012 IJSBA World Finals.

 

Bushell’s Championship success on the T3 hull design at the 2011 event was magnified at the 2012 event as starting lines were filled with black and yellow Sea-Doo RXP-X models. Sea-Doo PWC riders won 16 of the available 21 titles and filled 47 of the 63 available podium positions at the 2012 World Finals.  Bushell’s performance in both the Pro GP and Pro Open class were easily the most dominating performances in recent history, further building the new racing legacy of BRP’s Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft.

“The popularity of our Sea-Doo RXP-X on the starting lines and accompanying victories proves to the world this watercraft has reset the high-performance benchmark,” said Yves Leduc, vice president – general manager, North America division. “BRP strives to be the best in every category we compete in and James Bushell and the Sea-Doo RXP-X once again proved to be the best on the most prestigious stage in the world of personal watercraft racing.”

World Champion, James Bushell

Bushell’s precision on the race track was astounding but equally as impressive was the two additional podium finishers riding Sea-Doo RXP-X models in Pro Open; Jared Moore of South Africa finishing second and third place finisher Chokuthit Molee of Thailand. Sea-Doo Centre backed RXP-X rider Kylie Elmers of Australia also added to her collection of World titles by nearly lapping the field on the way to the 2012 Pro Women Championship. All of these champions were assisted by the tuning skills of Les Cooke of the Sea-Doo Centre in Australia who has mastered the ability to expand on BRP’s Sea-Doo RXP-X out of the box racing capabilities to put these riders ahead of all other challengers.

The Sea-Doo RXP-X is equipped with designs and technologies that make every rider a better rider. The exclusive Sea-Doo T3 hull design tracks straighter through choppy conditions and combined with the Ergolock system, allows the rider to turn tighter with less effort. These exclusive BRP designs and the power of the Rotax 4-TEC Supercharged HO marine engine give the rider a clear performance advantage.  Riders can utilize the power more efficiently in all areas of high performance riding minimizing fatigue, cornering faster and seemingly shortening the racetrack compared to the competition.

“BRP remains a trendsetter and continues to maintain its status as the industry leader in performance”, added Chris Dawson, vice-president and general manager, International division. “This result shows that Sea-Doo personal watercraft popularity is truly global”.

The 2013 Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft will start being available in BRP dealerships October 2013. For a more detailed look at the new T3 hull, Ergolock system and stunning flowing facet design, visit www.sea-doo.com.
