F1H20 Nations Cup

Corey Davoll and Brock Cohen are entered into the 2017 UIM H2O F1 Nations Cup with Thomas Kaal as team manager.

The race will take place on the 6th - 9th of October on Mingzhu Pearl Lake in Chongming Island - Shanghai, China. The championship event consists of 8 National teams with 2 drivers from each team all competing to be the dominate nation.

The 16 identical Nations Cup boats are all powered by a Mercury Optimax 200XS engine with a controlled propeller option for each team.

The winning nation is the team who collects the most combined points at the end of two days racing which consists of a round of elimination match racing and 2 x Grand Prix races.

The team are excited and determined to better our results from last year and are looking forward to competing with the other nations.
