Trendy F1 Racing to Shandong

F1, sometimes called Formula 1 or Grand Prix , is the abbreviation for "FIA Formula 1 World Championship". When established in Shanghai in 2004, F1, a seemingly extremely exciting activity, became known to more Chinese people who also become familiar with Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton. In fact, there is another member of the F1 family, that is the F1 Motorboat World Championship.

Like F1 for cars, the F1 Motorboat World Champion is a series of races as well. It is breathtaking and worth enjoying because of its super speed of 250km per hour and acceleration from 0 to 100 km per hour in only 3.5 seconds, which represents the highest level of motorboat sports. The combination of driver skill, motorboat and engine technology symbolizes the challenge of speed limits, which is the natural carrier and symbol of the high speed and high technology of modern civilization.

The F1 Motorboat World Championship was initiated by the International Motorboat Union in 1981. Together with the Olympic Games, World Cup, and F1 Car Racing, it is universally accepted as one of the four largest sports events that have the greatest influence and the highest audience ratings.

On October 3, 2010, the F1 Motorboat World Championship was held in Linyi, China. Two contestants from the Wild Crocodile Team were champion and runner-up. The newly joined racer Alex Corolla won the champion, and his teammate Sami Srio won the second place, Francisco Kata from the Singh Competition Team won the third place. Two racers from China's Tian Rong F1 Motorboat China Merchants Bank Team performed not so well, gaining no points.

China Linyi F1 Motorboat World Championship is the eighth contest venue since this race entered China and is also the first time for Shandong to hold such an event. Up to now, this race has been successfully held seven times in places such as Chengdu, Xi'an, Shenzhen and Liuzhou. In this sports season, races will be held in Linyi, Liuzhou and Shenzhen. At that time, world attention will be focused on China to share and witness such an exciting, trendy and charming sports event.
