Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hovercraft racing is a sport in which Britain excels. At the World Championships in France last month, Rupert Baker, from Banbury, won the Formula Junior class and Britons came second in Formula Three and Formula S and third in Formulas One, Two and Junior. Tattershall Park, Lincolnshire, is the scene this weekend for the eighth and final round of the National series and three of the four classes racing have yet to be decided. This includes the top two categories, Formulas One and Two. The F1 craft have unlimited engine size and can achieve speeds in excess of 80mph over land and water. This should provide some spectacular competition at Tattershall Park as the course is mainly flat and fast. Racing starts at noon tomorrow and on Sunday.
How to get there: Tattershall Park, Lincolnshire, is on A153 Sleaford to Horncastle road. Admission: pounds 1 adults, 50p children/OAPs. Under-fives are free. (Tel: 0526-343193).
