AquaX is an exciting and colourful coastal challenge that offers a completely new experience for personal watercraft enthusiasts.
Unlike other forms of watercraft competition the majority of racing takes place inland on technical tracks, AquaX events take place on the sea. And because of the ever-changing coastal conditions, the rider’s skill prevails over horsepower consequently creating a level playing field for all.
The courses are big yet fun to ride, giving the competitors the chance to open up their throttles and enjoy the full performance of their craft in a safe and controlled environment. The courses also provide a real sense of achievement for those who complete the task.
AquaX takes place alongside the Powerboat P1 SuperStock Championship www.p1superstock.com at high-profile venues around the country. The series is made up of five events where competitors earn points towards overall championship titles. The race tracks are approximately 1.5nm long, and 30 minutes in duration.
There are three categories – 200hp, 250hp and 300hp - to accommodate huge diversity in engine displacements. Two-Strokes and naturally aspirated four-stroke craft up to 160hp qualify to compete in the 200hp class, whereas the 250hp and 300hp class is reserved for the more powerful turbo and supercharged four-strokes of today. All engines must remain stock as furnished by the manufacture, except for two-strokes which may be modified.
