Audi vs BMW in 34th America's Cup
After BMW Oracle Racing’s victory in the 33th America’s Cup, we are already looking forward to the 34th America’s Cup. Three years ago, quite a few teams expressed their interest in participating in the Cup, but it needs to be seen how much of those teams can find the funds needed to mount a multi-year campaign.
It’s now up to BWM Oracle Racing and Mascalzone Latino - Audi team to agree on the location, date and format of the next America’s Cup. One thing I would like to assure everyone about the 34th America’s Cup is that there will be a completely independent jury and completely independent umpires,” said Larry Ellison. “It will be an independent company that manages the next America’s Cup and it will be a level playing field for all competitors.”
Newport, Rhode Island is named as possible venue of the 34th America’s Cup. Newport was the home of the Amercia’s Cup for all matches between 1930 and 1983, when the Cup left the USA for the first time since it’s inception and moved to Freemantle.
