On Saturday 3rd August 2024 at the CPA British Sprint Championship event held at Stewartby Lake, Bedfordshire an unfortunate racing collision occurred during heat 2 of the Formula 4 class involving boat number 42 (Michael Pillow) and boat 14 (George Elmore) resulting in both boats receiving heavy damage. ![]()

Unfortunately, because of the collision, the driver of boat 42 Michael Pillow sustained serious injuries whilst the driver of boat 14 George Elmore sustained minor injuries. ![]()

As is standard practice in these types of situation, the Circuit Powerboat Association in conjunction with the British Power Boat Association, have commenced a full review of the incident. While this review is ongoing there will be no further updates from the Circuit Powerboat Association in relation to this matter until the review is concluded.![]()

We are very pleased to update you all that Michael Pillow’s recovery is positively progressing albeit he is still receiving constant care from the excellent ICU medical team of Addenbrookes hospital. Mike has been racing since the early 1980’s and in this time has become a very well respected competitor, we all know his hard style of driving and determination to win will help in this latest, unfortunate challenge. ![]()

We send our very best wishes to Mike for his continued recovery and our thoughts and support are with Mike’s wife Julie and their family, who are all understandably experiencing a stressful and upsetting period while they support Mike in his recovery.![]()

Finally, the Circuit Powerboat Association would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our officials and rescue teams who dealt the incident professionally and with the upmost integrity to ensure a positive outcome was achieved.
