EARLY HISTORY 1990 - 2000 2001 - 2002

All Powerboat P1 Evolution Class boats are required to have a minimum crew of two – one to steer the boat and one to control the throttles.
• The driver has to steer the boat through unpredictable waves, keeping an eye out for rival boats around them and the hard-to-spot buoys.
• The throttle-person has to keep blipping the engine to avoid over-revving it as the boat and propeller crashes in and out of the waves. He also keeps an eye on the engine temperature and oil pressure dials, while acting as a second set of eyes for the buoys and rival boats.
• In some races a third navigator is on-board.
