Powerboat GP

Powerboat GP – RYA British Championship

Entertaining, thrilling and exciting are just some of the words you could use to describe the national and world-class sport of Powerboat Racing.

With speeds potentially reaching in excess of 120+mph in the senior classes this action packed, water based form of racing is fast becoming one of the professional and popular forms of competitive powerboating.

One of the reasons for the sports huge success is the fact that most of it’s disciplines are ‘stock engine classes’, and any tuning or modification to the original engines is strictly forbidden. This keeps the financial running costs to a minimum for teams and ensures that success will come to the most talented and knowledgeable drivers.

Governed Nationally by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and Internationally by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), the Powerboat GP series continues to develop with rules introduced and modified to ensure that the discipline is as safe and fair as possible for all involved.

Compared to other forms of motorsport the Powerboat GP series has an extremely economical entry level & very affordable running costs. We cater for all ages with our youngest competitors being just 9yrs old and our oldest currently 68 !

With our sights firmly set on the future Powerboat GP are committed to introducing new classes complying with EPA emission standards that are kind to the environment and have a sustainable future. In 2012 we are pleased to announce that over 50% of our competitors are ‘green’.

Each year, an annual 6 round RYA British Championship series is held at different venues across the UK and in addition, an international World and Continental Championship series is also held for the various classes.
