The Formula One takes power boating to another extreme, entertaining audiences with high speed, action packed racing. Spectators watch in awe as lightweight tunnel boats, constructed of wood, fiberglass and carbon fiber materials, literally race across the waters on a cushion of air at speeds in excess of 120 m.p.h. These high performance powerboats challenge even the most seasoned professional turning sharper and faster than any other race vehicle in the world. Drivers can experience up to 5G's of forces as they maneuver around a 1.5km course.

Wanganui Event on 8-9 December 2012 to hopefully partake in some Match/Pursuit
Racing along side the "Flying Lap". Here is the best video example of
how a Match Race works (they do these in the F2 World Championship):
