Dubai: XCAT, the Dubai-based world powerboat series, will reach 400 million homes around the world via television when the Gold Coast Grand Prix is held in Australia next weekend.
This jump in television figures shows a substantial growth compared to the last round held in Cascais, Portugal.
“We are very pleased with the growth in XCAT TV as it is an important element in our growth strategy for the series,” said Saif Markhan Al Ketbi, President, World Professional Powerboat Association (WPPA) — the promoters of XCAT.
“We plan to target growing that figure to over 500 million homes in the future,” he added.
