The UIM Class 1 World Powerboat Championship is highly competitive and one of the most dramatic series in international marine-motorsport. It is dynamic and spectacular, glamorous and evocative. A sport fuelled by adrenaline and passion - if you want real racers you go to the sea.
Class 1 sets the standards; state-of-the-art boat design and leading-edge technology push the barriers and extend the boundaries of the modern-day racers who remain a breed apart in professional sport in their relentless pursuit of competitive excellence against their oldest rival - the sea.
The 2010 UIM Class 1 World Powerboat Championship will see seven Grands Prix and 14-races at stunning venues in South America, Scandinavia, southern Europe, and the Middle East, with eight boats, teams and competitors from Italy, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Spain, the UK and the UAE.
Each Class 1 powerboat is capable of speeds in excess of 160 mph-255km/h, weighs approx 4800kgs, is 42ft in length and powered by two 8.2litre, V12s or 9.1litre V8s engines.
