Superboat Extreme will replace P1 class / Page 33-34 in the tech rule book for more details.

Superboat Extreme
4.1 INTRODUCTION –
The Superboat Extreme class will include both Catamarans and Vee bottoms.
There will be a maximum speed of 117mph for this class governed by a GPS. This
Class was developed to provide more quality competition.

This yr where will be a total of 8 classes battling of a World Champions....

I like the idea that SBI is reducing the number of big boat classes..but I think the name of this class needs to be reconsidered....since it is a speed bracket class limited to 117mph...wouldn't make sense to call it SUPERBOAT LIMITED?These boats will be racing at speeds slower than the new SUPERBOAT class...so SUPERBOAT EXTREME makes no sense. Have SUPERBOAT UNLIMITED,SUPERBOAT and SUPERBOAT LIMITED as your three top classes.Just my opinion.

Poor choice for the P1 class name. It is misleading an already confused fan base. "Extreme" denotes the highest or in this case fastest. Extreme has been used as a general description for the turbine and unlimited piston classes for years so why regurgitate the adjective used to describe an already defined class?



ex·treme (k-strm)
adj.
1. Most remote in any direction; outermost or farthest: the extreme edge of the field.
2. Being in or attaining the greatest or highest degree; very intense: extreme pleasure; extreme pain.
3. Extending far beyond the norm: an extreme conservative. See Synonyms at excessive.
4. Of the greatest severity; drastic: took extreme measures to conserve fuel.

With a week to go before KW the class is shaping up. Looks like it might be one of the bigger classes this yr. Look for some deck to deck racing with some exciting fan favorites fighting it out.

Agree.

Frank can you list what the big cat classes are know and who might be in them? Is a Turbine in P1? Im cofused as well. A small discription per class would help us fans. Thanks

Sorry my letter (eye not workng)

It doesn't matter to me what they call the class.
All I know is it combined 3 classes and now there are already 10 RACE BOATS registered for Key West in the class!! Superboat class is also going to have their biggest class in a long time!! Congrats to you guys!!!!
Looks like know one can come to Key West and race by themselves and call themselves World Champions.
I like more competitive boats in the class which is the direction they are trying to take but I know it will piss off plenty of so called racers that prefer titles running around in circles by themselves.

so will this be streamed live anywhere?
