BRPs sea-doo watercraft riders claim pro open and pro GP Class World Championships for fourth consecutive year
Valcourt, Québec, October 17, 2014 – BRP filled the weekend of the 2014 IJSBA World Finals with excitement, led by Sea-Doo riders Jean-Baptiste Botti and James Bushell winning the premier Pro Open and Pro GP world championships respectively.
Both riders claimed their championships on Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 models with this being Bottis first Pro Open world title and Bushells seventh World Title in four years.
"The RXP-X T3 hull has been so good to me and has been key to winning seven World Titles*, said Bushell. "The T3 hull dynamics combined with the Ergolock system and my Sea-Doo Centre engine package allows me to maintain maximum speed around the entire track.
"BRPs 12 Pro World Titles in the last four years in the premier racing classes is a resounding statement for the Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 model, said Julie Tourville, Global Marketing Director, Sea-Doo watercraft. "Both Botti and Bushell depended on the exclusive Sea-Doo RXP-X T3 hull that allowed them to track straight through chop and lean into corners to turn tighter and faster.

In addition to the high-caliber racing, BRP also hosted the fourth annual Sea-Doo Ultimate Owners Ride that saw a fleet of Sea-Doo watercraft owners ride from Lake Havasu to Pirate Cove Resort in Topock, CA.
