As many as 18 top racers from around the world, including from the United Arab Emirates, China, Portugal, Finland, Norway, France, and host Vietnam compete in three stages: qualifying, sprint, and final races.

Immediately after the opening ceremony, nine teams take part in the sprint race.

Despite the hot weather spectators converge on Thi Nai lagoon to support racing teams.

This marks the first time the Grand Prix of Binh Dinh-Vietnam, the second round of this year’s UIM F1H2O World Championship, has come to Vietnam.

The Formula 1 Powerboat World Championship (also F1) is an international motorboat racing competition for powerboats organised by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) and promoted by H2O Racing, often referred to as F1H2O.
