Yea, they are death matches literally. I was at an F1 boat race in Little Washington one year and one of the drivers flipped, nearly drowned if not did, but ultimately succumbed to the injuries from the wreck. Blink of an eye.
Harley Me is this a go cart you bought it made. I want a go cart that looks like something out of Mario cart but also like a Ferrari that’ll go atleast 75
Growing up on the water, I was always told when it comes to the sensation of speed that 1mph on water feels like 2mph on land. Of course everyone's perception of speed is different, and the type of watercraft you're on plays a role, but IME that calculation was always pretty close for me. We had a 19ft roundabout that'd do 55mph with optimal conditions, and it felt like doing a ~100mph in a car. Doing similar on a Waverunner felt even faster since there wasn't a body of a boat around you.
Even after 9 years, i keep coming back to this video. One of the greatest pieces i have ever seen! From the high paced racing, to the drama in the wrecks, all pulled together by a beautiful soundtrack. Just chefs kiss all the way around!

BlueravenGaming Amm.... you didn't get it. I mean that boat that got in splash from boat in front of it and got broken. Have you ever seen "TRON legacy" movie?
They are boats. But they are designed to fly on the water. In an ideally set up rig, only the propeller touches the water consistently, while the front of the boat teeters back and forth on the two front sponsons. Unlimiteds are really the only class of hydro racing that use turbine engines like this. You will find other engine types in smaller classes.
Big horsepower car and boat racing takes big nuts. Water may seem softer to wreck on compared to a dragster decimating itself on concrete, but when your pushing over 200mph that water is pretty much solid death.
I'd say they're safer... There is an air supply, and an emergency release hatch. But these things are REALLY LOUD! I go to the races... Columbia cup race is featured here! Stoked
Video of the Day! After over a 100 years of evolution in race boat design, the modern Unlimited Hydroplane is the world's fastest race boat, capable of speeds over 200mph and powered by a 3000 horsepower Lycorning T-55 L-7 military Chinook helicopter turbine engine.
He was not even smiling after he won. he was just like "holy shit i'm alive". Its like pod racing. Not all the racers even finished. The boats literally disintegrate. Very Badass. Stay Safe.
+Nertzi the vehicle ripping apart dissipates energy and minimizes risk of injury to the pilot. similar to formula 1, where the pilot sits in a reinforced monocoque and the rest of the car is designed to break away on impact.
+Shixma thats incorrect, your thinking of methane drag boats/hydros. Those have cockpits that indeed break away rather easily and also have a parachute attached to the backside of them. These, H1 Unlimited hydros contain a tubular steel frame wrapped in carbon fiber and epoxied glass thats integrated into the rest of the hull, making the structure extremely rigid. The windshield is from an F-16 fighter jet, and there is an escape hatch on the bottom of the cockpit, allowing the driver to escape in case the boat lands upside down in an accident
I've seen these particular boats from a lot of angles (many of these shots are from Tri-Cities, WA), but I was amazed at some of these. The shot from directly above the Miss Madison/Oberto was stellar and gave me chills. And the underwater shot of the $20K prop starting up was phenomenal. These guys a run a souped up turbine at the limits with a skid fin dragging them around corners at 200. Great video!
Nope that’s not it when the shutter speed matches it doesn’t look like it’s moving at all that just what happens when something spins that fast it looks like that
@@nacecity225 There sure is a point of time where the propellers speed matches with the framerate of the GoPro causing the propeller to appear stationary, this effect can be seen on rotors of all kind. (Looks very neat with helicopters). In real life the light from the object is reflected / emitted equally over the entire rotation so instead of changing speed / freezing the rotating part starts to resemble a semi-opaque disc.
This video is awesome because I live in the tri cities where this was shot and the boat races are really cool, so the fact that GoPro has a video of them is just amazing! And I loved the shot of the blue bridge too!

The sense of speed in water is overwhelming
when your ass is that close yeah... my go cart does 75 mph.. and my ass is 2 inches from the ground... looks more like 200mph...

6 years later and this video is still incredible!
it's like "TRON" game, if you get in other player's line - you're done
Actually when you cut someone off like that you get a one lap penalty, which is detramental.
BlueravenGaming Amm.... you didn't get it. I mean that boat that got in splash from boat in front of it and got broken. Have you ever seen "TRON legacy" movie?
Actually it had some wear on it before it came off when we looked at it 7 of the 20 clamps had come off
First name Last name so you saying it didn't meant to take off when got in other boat splash?
No those things can stand wind speeds of 160+ mph it just came off then because it was going to anyway around the next corner
Imagine wake boarding on that thing
Lmao if anybody could even stay up that would be impressive
you actually can't do that. it's to fast
hence the "imagine"...
imagine the heat from the turbine

they have removable steering wheels so it is easier for the driver to get in and out of the hydroplane.

I think one is much safer than the other.

thanks GoPro, I made about $500,000.00 from your stocks
lol, you should give me a dollar
Genitals of granite, these guys have.
I wouldve pissed my pants
show..show
Would have been cooler just to hear those dope engines.
Yea of course. 3 mins of a video of the motor filmed with a GoPro camera. Surely that would interest the majority of the GoPro audience.
I meant no music.
Cynical, cynical man..
Just see it in person by going to the Tri-cities in Washington state ;)
These are huge jets it would just sound like an aeroplane
Props to the cameraman sitting on the boat, must be tuff getting those angles at that speed
Its a go pro

Do these things always just completely rip apart?
+Nertzi the vehicle ripping apart dissipates energy and minimizes risk of injury to the pilot. similar to formula 1, where the pilot sits in a reinforced monocoque and the rest of the car is designed to break away on impact.
+Nertzi yes, the pod they sit in is designed to rip away from the whole boat during a crash for safety reasons

These, H1 Unlimited hydros contain a tubular steel frame wrapped in carbon fiber and epoxied glass thats integrated into the rest of the hull, making the structure extremely rigid.
