Race Classes -Formula Future
Boat racing is a family sport and when Mum or Dad get to race in a V8 powered circuit race boat, the kids can also join in and race in the Formula Future classes. The Formula Future class is a great way for kids to be involved in boat racing. While creating an excellent source of fun for the kids, it also puts them on the right track for when they want to step up to the "big boats" later in life. Girls are also a part of Formula Future racing, its definitely not boys only and power boat racing is one of the few sports that girls compete on an even level.
Formula Future boats are small outboard powered boats. There are horsepower restrictions for the respective age group classes.
