The Superfund Class 1 World Powerboat Championship is an exhilarating spectacle where modern-day gladiators of the sea compete for the premier powerboat racing World Championship. This supremely competitive sport involves Eleven two-man teams, each comprising of a driver and throttleman, strapping themselves beneath jet fighter canopies to race in pursuit of maximum glory. The boats represent a technological tour de force; 14 metres in length, weighing five tonnes, and powered by twin 850hp Lamborghini engines they race, often mere inches apart, at perilous speeds exceeding 160mph in unpredictable conditions. The result is an unrivalled cocktail of power, passion, drama and danger, played out in front of crowds of up to half a million spectators at eight superb venues in Europe and the Middle East. All combining to create the ultimate world that is "Class 1." The Superfund Class 1 World Powerboat Championship is, without question, a premier series in the global calendar of world class sporting and entertainment events!
