Celebrating its 37th anniversary this year and set for Sunday, July 3, the Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix isn’t just the third contest of the American Power Boat Association Offshore National Championship Series, it’s the longest continually running regular-season event in offshore racing. P1 Offshore—the offshore race-production arm of United Kingdom-headquartered Powerboat P1—will be producing the event for the second year in a row and has created a “VIP Experience” for fans interested in an upscale day on Lido Beach.
