Honda Formula 4-Stroke Powerboat Racing

http://www.honda-racing.co.uk The Honda Formula 4-Stroke Powerboat Series first began on 29 May 1999 on a stormy Saturday in Torquay. The inaugural race was made-up of five two-person crews bravely taking to the water amidst thunder, lightning, hail and high winds. Nine years and over 75 races later, 2007 witnesses over 36 teams racing over five weekends, a remarkable achievement and one that demonstrates the undeniable success of the Series which today represents the largest off-shore powerboat race series in the world.

fun and really entertaining with one-design but damn they seem to have a really shitty handling

are they allowed to modify the gearcase?

[ZapFlap]

Looks to me like there needs to be a "dummy wheel" for the second person (navigator?) to hold on to, ha.

Cool video, but looks like the boats have bad handeling.

Hi, similar to the old 2.0ltr offshore class but much better I think. I had a ring 20, ported,cav plate 5" above keel & used to swing a 26qss or 24 chopper if stern needed to be lifted higher.

This class of boat seems to me to be a lot more lively, do you have bow ballast tank and it does'nt look like you are running double ridequide steering like 'the good ole days' lol. I'd luv to drive this class now to experience what differences there are. Thank you for posting, it bought back memories

This is an advert video, professionally done, may be you lot should go and see the real thing, I went to the 2009 racing session ( Yes Ms James Vogue PR, I was there) and it's not as good as this. but it will be soon now that P1 has taken over
