Hampshire powerboat racers Bligh Julius and Charlie Hatfield are eyeing up victory in Europe after winning the 2014 ThunderCat title.

The Lymington pair won eleven of the season’s twelve races to claim the prestigious title at Fistral Beach, Newquay.

The team is now en route to Gibraltar to compete in the European Championship – and they're hungry for more success.

Hatfield, 24, said: "We are expecting stiff competition from the international entries - the Norwegians in particular are very quick - however if we can extend our national form to the Europeans we feel very confident.”
