The F2 World Championship is an international powerboat racing competition organised by the Union Internationale Motonautique.
The carbon fibre catamaran hulls are powered by Mercury Racing OptiMax 2.5XS outboards. [1]
Qualifying periods (Q1, Q2 & Q3) decide the formation of the grid.
Each race lasts approximately 45 minutes following a circuit marked out in a selected stretch of water, usually a lake, river, dock, or sheltered bay.
