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 six Grands Prix and 12-races at stunning venues in South America, Scandinavia, southern Europe, and the Middle East, with teams and competitors from Italy, Norway, Spain 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.
