Volvo Ocean Race, formerly the Whitbread Round the World Race, is the most prestigious and impressive yacht race around the world. It is an ultimate and adventurous sport which is held every four years.
It is the first time in the history of 35 years that the Volvo Race will make a stopover in India. The race will begin in next 71 days and will reach India in next 131 days. A short time left to say, ‘get set go’ and meet the racers in Cochin, India.
The Race will commence sailing in October 2008 starting from Alicante, Spain. It will cross more than 39,000 nautical miles and visit 11 ports round the world. The Race will make a stopover at Cape Town, Cochin, Qingdao, Rio de Janeiro, Boston, Galway, Goteborg and Stockholm, and finally end up at St.Petersburg.
This unique blend of onshore glamour and offshore performance is something unique for the country. India is considered to be the fastest growing economies and gradually it is being noticed by all domains and industries. All global car manufacturers and industrialists have made a stopover in India. And today, Volvo Race, a sporting and dynamic race by Volvo is 131 days away from India.

That’s a cool thing to hear that 1st time in India the Volvo is going to meet the racers in Cochin. This shows that even our country is gaining fame all over the world. So I think we all will be eagerly waiting for this to happen soon. This is really wonderful information for me. It’s really amazing so all are ready for it.
That's really good news. It is heard that Olympic Games is also coming to India in 2010 and today the Volvo Ocean Race. I am glad to be a part of India, a country that is growing in all domains. Along with other industries, Indian sports are also pushing ahead the status of the country, eventually resulting in economic gains.
