Carib Great Race

Carib Great Race is an annual event which takes place in the month of August.   The race, which has a history of over forty-five years starts in Trinidad and ends in Tobago.  Different categories of powerboats compete in this exciting open sea race and boats are categorized in accordance with the speed of the respective boat. The starting point of the race has changed over the years, however, the race starts mainly in the western area of Trinidad and ends at Storebay, Tobago.

The race draws thousands of spectators to the shoreline along both Trinidad and Tobago to witness the race which has a course of approximately 115 miles and takes approximately two hours to complete, depending on the respective boat's speed category.  As part of the planning and promotion of the Great Race,  a parade of the boats is held where the boats are driven through the streets of Port of Spain prior to the commencement of the race.  

Whilst the race takes place in the morning, spectators normally spend the entire day on the beach and are entertained with activities such as dancing and beer drinking competition.  The award giving ceremony follows the race and this too is a highly anticipated event as there are several awards being distributed to the participants.  

This year, I would like to witness the race at Storebay, where will you be viewing the race?
