Class-1 World Powerboat Championship -- Today's The Day!
Today is the big day! The final and big event in the three-day Gran Prix Stresa for the Class 1 Powerboat Championship of the World. Want to watch? Try this Webcam, perched high atop the Hotel Astoria. You can see the activity all along the Lungolago; the tents are bars and vendors, and private tents of the teams and pilots. Maybe you'll catch the boats going past at 160 miles/hour, and it's an incredibile view of the lake to boot!

This following Webcam is located at Lidrovolante, at the Carciano boat dock. Another great view of the lake, but unfortunately the camera snaps a foto only once every few minutes, and so the chance of capturing any fast action is greatly diminished.

The main Web site for the event has already posted lots of photos from Friday and Saturday, take a look here; there are some nice videos they made of Stresa as well that capture the party atmosphere in town right now.
