Discovery's Turbo.com Offers Extensive Coverage of 'Earthrace' – The World's Most Ambitious Powerboat Race
Discovery's new multi-platform brand TURBO, which offers entertainment for viewers who love all things motorized, is the online destination of the ground-breaking "Earthrace," offering extensive coverage and exclusive video online at Turbo.com. Earthrace is an event promoting the sustainable use of resources and featuring a high-speed, alternative-fuel powerboat set to break the world record for circumnavigating the globe.

"At TURBO, we feature everything for the vehicle enthusiast, and increasingly our audience and partners have shown an interest in motorized vehicles using alternative fuels," said Clint Stinchcomb, EVP and General Manager, HDTV and New Media, Discovery Communications. "Earthrace is a showcase of environmentally friendly technologies, such as low-emission engines, but it also happens to feature one of the coolest-looking boats ever imagined. Powerboat fans and anyone interested in new green technologies will have a chance to see both in action online."

Circumnavigating the globe represents the pinnacle of powerboat challenges, and at 24,000 nautical miles, is also the world's longest race. The current record of 75 days was set by British boat Cable & Wireless in 1998. Earthrace aims to smash this record by completing the voyage in less than 65 days, and will mark the first time in history that an official UIM Powerboat record will be attempted using renewable fuel.
