WHIPPLE SUPERCHARGERS HELPS PROPEL SOME OF THE FASTEST P1 RACE BOATS
Powerboat P1 is the fastest-growing offshore series in the world – a truly adrenaline-fuelled global odyssey. It’s all about overwhelming sound, blinding speeds and gutsy heroes, taking on their rivals in state-of-the-art boats and racing just yards apart as they bounce from wave to wave.
It all takes place off the coast some of the world’s hottest and most evocative tourist destinations, in seas that – at a moment’s notice – can vary from the sunny, calm and serene to choppy, unpredictable and even outright treacherous.
Whipple Superchargers helps propel multiple race teams to blistering speeds and record breaking times. Whipple is not only the choice for many of the race teams, but the official pace boat as well.
