Just to split the two things:

In UIM P1 (or whatever they call the series), all competitors had to install a torque sensor (made by ABB) on the axle. This is a very expensive (US 40k if I remember...

European Associations have different rules, but all of them has a suspension period, and most have a loss of all points earlier the same season. As far as I can remember, the Norwegian NA has 3 next...

Just got a text from the pits - race apparently cancelled...

This is the old Maritimo boat... Being repaired in Norway right now.

No mechanical failure, this boat has spun out a lot of times before. They changed the angle of the rudder for this event, but something else has to be done to make her better in the turns.

It's...

Q posted another video on http://www.class-1.com/video.asp. Look at other pics from class-1.com, and you will see how damn lucky the Christian and Paul were (sitting inside the "ramp" in the Relekta...

Sorry about that - you'll have to be quicker :D Looking forward to test her with #6 drives

Hi buddy,

I quit monohull racing more than 10 years ago - cats only for me!

Looking forward to Miami!

Brad,

look at your fax now. Looking forward to getting our special needs!

Hi Brad,

sorry about being late registering this year - will try to do as soon as possible (no printer or fax at home). No more All Jack'd Up - new boat with new name. I was just discussing the...

UIM actually recognizes:

"- All U.I.M. series and classes
- American Powerboat Association classes
- Prototypes"

This will definitely go under the prototypes definition. But - as previously...

Spirit of Saudi will not happen. The second Welmax boat will be driven in Rio by Marit Strømøy (Norway, Throttle) and Girgio Manuzzi (Italy, Driver). Just had a long chat with Marit and she is really...

Just looked at the UIM §60x and §610 rules:
§604.02: ...
The base must be measured by triangulation or electronic distance

Pål Virik Nilsen (Throttle Maritimo) just confirmed they will not participate in the 2010 season. They might come to kw this year...

Line-up for Spirit yet to be confirmed...

Look at the banner on http://f2boat.com/ - Spirit of Saudi is coming, teaming up with Welmax from what I've heard.

This is a part of the accident report that is being circulating in UIM prior to the Victory accident.

Just fyi: The Hot Staff Drivers will come with us to a few events in US this year.

I totally agree (it wasn't my boat), but it is hard to see how things are built w/o cutting it to pieces. I looked inside the canopy when both boats came to Norway, and they looked ok - keep in mind...

We had a narrow escape in Norway last year when a HotBoat did a perfect roll at ~85 MPH - canopy collapsed. OSS has got our accident report, and it has been submitted to UIM. Fortunately both pilots...

Bob and me in the boat. The Amsoil team has really helped us out this week with lots of stuff (props, drives, etc). Unfortunately starboard side engine is stuck - no racing tomorrow. Thumbs up for...

UIM has got plenty of WC's, but only for their classes. Class-1 (WPPA) and P1 are the two classes being run as a series throughout various countries. The WPPA XCat series (6 litre) is run in UAE, but...
