“SuperCourse” racing, as designed by TeamSport Racing, is a new and exciting form of watercraft racing that is intended to resemble the fast-paced sport of motorcycle road racing. “The larger and more powerful watercraft of today much more resemble a road bike, than a dirt bike” says TeamSport Racing director Marty Roberts “and therefore deserve a race track that fits that profile”. Weighing over 600 and some as much as 900 pounds, a race-ready watercraft is capable of creating over 260 horsepower, and speeds in excess of 70 mph.
A typical SuperCourse track incorporates the same fast, sweeping turns that you would see at road tracks such as Daytona or Willow Springs. In fact, TeamSport Racing gets inspiration for their SuperCourse track designs from these and other famous road tracks. Over 50 buoys may be used on the water to accurately create the sweeping turns and chicanes that make up a SuperCourse track.
“Our typical track will be approximately two miles in length for one lap,” said Roberts. “We can race over 30 watercraft on a course this size, which makes for some good racing.” According to Roberts, the highly defined courses allow for more options to pass, with an emphasis on speed and strategy.
The Texas SuperCourse Series will feature top pro and amateur endurance racers in Texas and beyond, as well as novices and beginners. Racers compete over 40 minutes with an additional two laps after.
Sponsors include Eastside Honda (Home of the Honda Aquatrax), Beach House, Hydro-Turf and Motul Lubricants.
