Outerlimits Powerboats Takes on the World with the Powerboat P1 World Championship

Hello and Welcome to the new blog for The Outerlimits Offshore Racing Team News!





Having returned from the first Powerboat P1 Race in Malta, the Outerlimits Offshore Racing Team of throttleman, owner/president Mike Fiore, and driver, longtime friend, customer and APBA Hall of Champions racer, Joe Sgro, driver are ready and enthusiastic for the Naples, Italy race, May 26-27.





In Malta, all the European race teams were friendly and gracious--though very competitive--and the Powerboat P1 organization puts on a top-of-the-line event! The Outerlimits new SV-40 has a very different look than many of the bigger, heavier European boats, but it performed admirably in VERY rough seas. Some may have been skeptical of the Outerlimits ability to compete in the Mediterranean, but with the fastest speed run in the Evolution Class on Sunday and a quick catch up in the start of the first race on Saturday, Outerlimits proved its mettle and the challenge is on for a great race season ahead.





The field will expand in Naples as two new American boats, piloted by European teams are expected. Outerlimits is the only American manufacturer-sponsored team in Powerboat P1 and it is a pleasure to represent the USA in this exciting race circuit.
