Land Rover BAR rule the waves in Portsmouth
The Land Rover BAR team was conceived by four times Olympic gold medalist and 34th America's Cup winner, Sir Ben Ainslie, with the long‑term aim of bringing home the world's oldest sporting trophy to Britain for the first time in its 165‑year history.
Britain's chances of winning the America's Cup for the first time were given a significant boost in July after the Land Rover BAR team sealed an emphatic victory on their home water of Portsmouth. Two days of action packed racing on the Solent saw Land Rover BAR do the Portsmouth double and emerge as overall winners for a second time following their victory in July 2015.
We are delighted to have Land Rover as our Title Partner and Exclusive Innovation Partner. A great British brand, but also a fantastic engineering and technology company who will work hand‑in‑hand with our design and engineering team and our Technical Innovation Group. Together, we will develop race‑winning technology for our America’s Cup Class boat.”
