Hovershotz provide aerial drone filming for new world waters peed record in Cumbria

Hovershotz, the leading specialist drone filming company in the Lake District are proud to be involved with the Jaguar racing team by providing the aerial drone filming for the new world electric waterspeed record. In May 2018 at Coniston Water Cumbria, Hovershotz integrated with the official Jaguar Land Rover film crew to provide breathtaking drone footage.

The Jaguar Vector Racing V20E craft cleared two legs of the 1km Coniston Water circuit in Cumbria, England, at 88.6mph (142.6kph). It smashed world and national electric speed records, beating the previous electric best of 76.8mph (123.6kph) set 10 years ago.

The powerboat was produced by car manufacturer Jaguar in collaboration with experts from the technology companies Vector and Williams Advanced Engineering. Its YASA electric motors were powered by two 320kg batteries punching 220kW.
