Organisers cancel the upcoming powerboat racing season after the death of racer Brett Duncan, according to reports. The decision follows the fatal incident from a year earlier, when Duncan died during a race. BBC News and Yahoo Sports both report that the cancellation is directly linked to that death, indicating that the sport’s governing or event organisers conclude the season should not proceed in its scheduled form. The coverage does not cite additional causes beyond Duncan’s death, and it does not detail new safety changes or alternative dates for the competitions. The reports focus on the timing and rationale for the cancellation, noting that it occurs after the incident and that the season is being called off rather than postponed. The outlets present the announcement as a response to the prior year’s tragedy affecting the powerboat racing calendar.
