Formula 2000 - Drammen

Some shots from the formula 2000 race at Drammen river last saturday.


Formula 2 boats are equipped with 2-liter Mercury stock engines generating 200 HP and speeds up to 200 km/h (125 mph). Hulls of Formula 2 are the same as for Formula 1 boats and they reach minimum length of 4.8 meters and minimum weight of 513 kg (including the pilot). Due to their specially designed tunnel hulls, Formula 2 boats are able to turn almost instantaneously incurring more G forces than any other racing machine on the planet. Starting 2008 all boats racing at international venues are equipped with safety crash boxes.
