Yet another P1 rule change !!

P1 have banned foot throttles from 08 !! Mmmm wonder why ?maybe they should just ban women drivers,no that would'nt be fair lets just ban women drivers under 6' 4inches tall thats fair.Makes it kinda hard for anyone thinking of entering P1 to build a boat,I know lets start a campaign to bring back Pro-Vee,no biased rule changes and no speed limits either !!!

Yes I remember talking with you at Bournemouth pier about Pro vee and I agreed it was great recorded them all off Sky and rewatched them it was good like you say no wild rule changes to ban wild animals with to much estrogen running through their veins


only joking about the wild animal bit

ahhhh that boat......sat in front of the box to watch the last ever race with that boat in it after the big build up and it never showed, it kin broke before the start line, I felt robbed of a good race between it and the Buzzi speed machines boo hoo... probably not as gutted as the owner though!!!

Oh? I was told it was banned from ProVee cause it would not fit in a 40 foot container, a requirement of the series..?

heard the same thing except I was under the impression they found a way round it by removing some parts to get it in the container ???

Streached B28. Actual measured length 37 foot, but with drive etc makes it 40 foot. The wings are not detachable like with V24's and by the time the theory on how it could fit in a container was being thought up, ProVee stopped.

It is massive!

Unfortunately it has the B28 hull basis, but still good for well over 100mph
